Went to https://asciinema.org/ and clicked the demo video. I'm a bit confused because it looks like future lines are being rendered after the cursor while lines are being typed. Is that...correct? It looks like either a blatant bug in their product (that they're displaying on their homescreen demo!) or on purpose for some reason I can't find.

You made me click through, and I could not recreate. Is this the new viral marketing? I truly just was reverse psychology'd

not a plant I swear!

Feel free to report a bug here https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema-player/issues/new (including browser version, OS would help a lot).

Btw, it's not a product, just a side, hobby project of mine.

Ohhh weird, I thought it was a literal mp4 on the front page haha. Must be one of my browser extensions messing with it!

Ohhh this makes a lot of sense to me now too, I also thought it was an mp4 until reading your comment and thought you were totally insane to have "watched the video" wrong lol. I see now it's an animated terminal rendering via HTML elements, very cool
