I like it. I had a similar idea a while back, but for using output from the already widely-available 'script' command. I wonder if there was a technical reason to create a new 'recorder', or if it was just a question of ease-of-use?

OMG, such service was on my ToDo list for a long long time... but I never sit down to actually do it. Good job!

This is a great idea! However, it has a few issues: 1) How do I make a screencast private? 2) There isn't a way to save this locally. I don't really want to upload this to a site and then have to embed it :-)

  I have a small open source project called Termbeamer (termbeamer.com) that lets two or more people share a terminal session over the internet. I started the project because screen sharing services don't work well for pair programming (for me at least).

when I go to here http://ascii.io/docs/record http://ascii.io/docs/record in this section "3. Create profile (optional)" I click this link "Btw, see my profile." which redirects me to this url http://ascii.io/~sickill http://ascii.io/~sickill which gives 404 You shouldn't be here. Really. You are welcome ;-)

Is there any reason for not using the existing terminal configuration of the user? I love the idea but I have a lot of aliases I use for development and not having them is quite inconvenient.

    How do you mean? I'm not talking about keeping the current console contents -- just your default configuration settings.

There are commandline tools for this :). Should be available on nearly every UNIX OS. script and scriptreplay. "The script command appeared in 3.0BSD" http://linux.die.net/man/1/script http://linux.die.net/man/1/script http://linux.die.net/man/1/scriptreplay http://linux.die.net/man/1/scriptreplay

  Script still (OSX) produces nonsense if you run vi in it.
