Cool product and nice execution, but I'm a little stuck on the name. I keep reading it as ascii-enema.

Me too. Is this a sort of allusion to something?

It's supposed to read as a portmanteau of "ASCII" and "cinema", but yeah, I can see the misreading.

Is there any solution for me wanting to have my recordings be private, or only distributable within a small group?

With an account your recordings are private by default.

Oh that makes sense, as it is quite close in spelling. I have been reading as (As-Key-Nema).

Are these related?

Only in the sense that they are pretty much dead-on the same thing and Showterm has been around a lot longer and is in wider use.

Seriously when people will stop using that for installation....

"curl -sL https://asciinema.org/install | sh"

Still a cool product!

I've stayed away from Showterm because it relies on a big rat's nest of Ruby deps. Looks like this one is written in Go, which is convenient.

What's wrong with that? It is SSL secured.

Once you agree to install software, it had local access with your accounts privileges.

Why does it have to be in the cloud? Can't you guys provide a player in html css whatever and the recording program to generate data files for the player so we can use your technology everywhere and are not tied to this website and its hosting policies?
