    Project mention: Asciinema CLI 3.0 rewritten in Rust, adds live streaming, upgrades file format | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-09-15

    Asciinema is awesome. I use it to capture all of the demos for TerminalTextEffects. Their Asciinema GIF Generator tool (AGG) produces high quality terminal recording GIFs. This is the best solution I've found for producing short terminal recordings that can be shared in a README/docs as seen in the TerminalTextEffects repo/docs.
