It does try to launch the same shell as your current one by looking at SHELL env variable, and only falls back to sh if it's not there. See: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/blob/9ccf4efd4d3babc4...

Feel free to report a bug here https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema-player/issues/new (including browser version, OS would help a lot). Btw, it's not a product, just a side, hobby project of mine.

Thanks Ryan! And thanks again for your work on Solid.js.

> The speedup is not a result of abandoning clojurescript, it's from moving from immutable data structures to mutable arrays and primitives. The same can be done in clojurescript or javascript. More or less, yes. The majority of the

That's not how asciinema-player works though. The player internally represents the terminal buffer as a grid of characters. So for 80x24 terminal you have 80*24=1920 grid cells, each keeping a unicode char + color attrs. When rendering

The player has other UI parts, mainly the control bar with current time, progress/seek bar, full-screen toggle etc. Of course it could be built with plain JS but a small library like Solid.js does the job well. The terminal lines with

Before attempting JS/Rust rewrite I tried using transients [0]. I converted small part of the vt code to use mutable data structures to see if it's giving any improvements. It barely did, the difference was negligible. I believe i

Yup. No more React.js conflict. That was caused by the way how ClojureScript bundle has been built (reagent's copy of React added to the bundle's global/window namespace). Also, the dependency on Solid.js is unlikely to cause

The JVM part is not in practical use, but it was just to easy to use cljc to not do it this way

Haha, yeah, you're not the first one: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/issues/279

Yes but script command on *BSD and macOS doesn't support this. Long long time ago asciinema was wrapping script then doing upload. But it work only on Linux and I wanted it to work for users of other Unix-like systems so here we are.

Yup. There's project called svg-term-cli which generates animated SVG from asciicast file.

asciinema dev here. Where did you get impression it's proprietary? I'm really curious because it's fully open-source, with all components open-source and usable independently, and there's no company or business model beh

Oh, that's a bummer. I'll fix that!

There's no native support for Windows due to completely different way of terminal is implemented in Windows and Unix-like systems. But there are some options to have it working, see this thread: https://github.com/ascii

Yes, this is read-only. I believe it's a nice example of how you can combine different unix tools together to achieve interesting result. It's not a scalable, reliable streaming solution. But we'll get there :) For collaborat

You can use https://github.com/asciinema/asciicast2gif to turn asciicast into GIF animation.

script was main inspiration for asciinema. I read its source code many times, and in the very first version it was used for recording. However on BSD based systems (and so on macOS) the shipped version of script doesn't support writing

I'm here :) I'm very happy asciinema is useful to you!

I updated the blog post with motivations for moving from Python to Go in the first place.

Yup. People asked me to write this post as they were genuinely curious. I also think it adds something to our collective knowledge.

We did. But you see, theoretical analysis doesn't always produce accurate result and you won't learn about practical issues until you get your feet wet. Also, like I said in the post, it turned out to be not great choice for combi

99% of asciinema users don't care about Go, Python, static binaries and other details like this. They're happy they can 'brew install asciinema' or 'sudo yum install asciinema' and just use the tool. You'r

This is something I have been fighting with in my head for quite a while. "Piping shit into sh" is not really great way to do it, I fully agree. Let me describe you the situation. At the moment there are native packages for Ubuntu
