Pretty cool, but unfortunately it does not work with my PS1 [0]. Looks like any PS1 with a shell call in it won't work.

#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
Actually, I am working on something similar i.e being able to share terminals using browser.
Cool! Realtime terminal hacking... now that's something I can use.
This has existed for ages in the form of GNU Screen. (Or Byobu, if you want a variation with bells and whistles.)

#43I wonder about credentials leaking to the service. When I show off connecting to a server that uses login/password, will this also be recorded and uploaded or only keys that actually change the ui? How about ncurses apps?
http://showterm.io/5837e92554dcbeaea129b answers the ncurses question and i'm impressed.

it records only the characters echoed to the terminal-emulator by the pty device (hence passwords are not recorded)
Re: Text-based terminal screencasts
#45I think the script should ask for a confirmation before uploading stuff. Somebody could get distracted and forget that script runs.
agreed. This is a dangerous utility akin to a key logger.
You don't have to install it in order to use it.
bash Records everything in that terminal until you exit, then gives you a URL to share.

#46http://ascii.io/ does the same and was around for a while, but showterm's text selection works better.
ascii.io works great with ncurses games http://ascii.io/a/4682
Showterm had buggy black background http://showterm.io/ff11970f1363de1386cbc

#47I've been using ascii.io for a while - I would be interested in a comparison between the two.

Where is that game "cursor war"? Looks cool, easier on the eyes than dwarf fortress.
Re: Text-based terminal screencasts
#49This is really sweet! As well as some of the other features requested, real-time might be nice, too.
Plus, the option to cut out backspaces and only go with the finished command might be cool, in case the screencaster has made some mistakes along the way.
