Not sure about seq2gif but I think using ttyrec to capture data instead of asciinema has some benefits.
For example, ttyrec is a 33KB standalone binary while asciinema needs python. This might be a problem if you are recording something on a remote machine with limited access or resources.
You can upload ttyrec data to asciinema so nothing really changes on that front.
- csdvrx 7y agoUnfortunately I guess only a small minority prefers 33KB binaries doing just their the job. At least I learned about the SVG alternatives to asciinema that's both getting a better vectorial results, and saving size compared to a gif output. It is so obvious in retrospect! More kudos to the author for thinking about supporting various input formats, including asciinema.
