A bit off-topic, but I like the tty-player you're using for the demo (and apparently have created). https://tty-player.chrismorgan.info/

I haven't come across this kind of terminal playback on the web before, seems a bit more bandwidth efficient and snappier than video or gifs.

Heads up: what’s shown and run at https://tty-player.chrismorgan.info is currently out of date (though https://github.com/chris-morgan/tty-player is up to date). I wrote it years back against Web Components v0 for a project that has been shelved for a few years, and more recently updated it to Web Components v1 and Shadow DOM, because I wanted it for this article. Still need to update it to xterm.js.

The most popular thing in this space nowadays is asciinema, mostly used by embedding it from asciinema.org, but I prefer my thing.

It also lets you copy and paste directly, very cool.
