What did you use to create your gif screencasts?

I used LICEcap (http://www.cockos.com/licecap/) from Cockos to generate the GIFs

I wrote the rotating gallery myself, it auto-figures out the duration of the GIF and does cycling for you. I'll probably release it sometime soon...

Screenshots make this thing really interesting. Need to support more languages than just Ruby and Perl!

Thanks! The app is written in both Ruby and Perl but it currently has support for parsing C / C++, Java, C#, Bash, Ruby, Perl, and Python files

Just sent a pull request for CoffeeScript.

Thanks for the tool!

I love it. Good example of enriching the development environment without any kind of special files, databases, etc. Would be great to port it other issue trackers.

Looks awesome! If you remove the comment tag as part of a commit, does it / could it in future close the issue?

What a clean, concise approach to both the tool and the demo.

Watson also reminds me of Gina Trapani's todo.txt[1], which I love.

Nice concept! Love it. The two examples are perl and ruby. Does that mean it wouldn't work in, say, javascript?

The example in the gif is actually C++, but JS should be fine according to the link. Ruby and Perl just happen to be the implementation languages.
