Introduction
Originally this project was started as a way of recording from a tmux session using tmux pipe-pane. After doing some research I found out there was already the asciicast format, so figured it made sense to use that as the interchange format.
As for the question of why not just use asciinema rec, I can give a couple of reasons.
First, recording directly from a tmux pane means you can start recording without needing
to start a new shell session (for example the output of an already running program).
Second, I like the idea of small programs that do one thing and one thing well.
Finally (the most selfish reason) is I just wanted to see if it was possible to do 😊.
Player
This is a hterm-based player for asciicasts. It depends on
hterm_all.js which can be built by running
third_party/libapps/hterm/bin/mkdist.sh and copying into the player directory
(or using the existing symlink).
A hosted version can be found on here.
