If you want to just show something off, a GIF (or real video) is the answer.
The defining feature of asciinema is that you can copy the text out of the animation. Which is actually not that useful most of the time, because you can't search for text in asciinema (AFAIK?) like you can in, well, documentation.
- uasi 5y ago> a GIF (or real video) is the answer. Why so? You can't pause or seek GIFs. GIFs and video files are usually several times larger than asciinema recordings of the same content. And you can't copy text out of them when it is useful.
