There are commandline tools for this :). Should be available on nearly every UNIX OS.

script and scriptreplay.

"The script command appeared in 3.0BSD"

Script still (OSX) produces nonsense if you run vi in it.

I like it. I had a similar idea a while back, but for using output from the already widely-available 'script' command.

I wonder if there was a technical reason to create a new 'recorder', or if it was just a question of ease-of-use?

This is a great idea! However, it has a few issues:

1) How do I make a screencast private? 2) There isn't a way to save this locally. I don't really want to upload this to a site and then have to embed it :-)

Is there any reason for not using the existing terminal configuration of the user?

I love the idea but I have a lot of aliases I use for development and not having them is quite inconvenient.

OMG, such service was on my ToDo list for a long long time... but I never sit down to actually do it.

Good job!

when I go to here

http://ascii.io/docs/record

in this section

"3. Create profile (optional)"

I click this link

"Btw, see my profile."

which redirects me to this url

which gives

You shouldn't be here. Really.

You are welcome ;-)

can anyone recommend a service like this for realtime sharing?

you can use tmux

sorry, to clarify: I'd like something web-based for the people viewing.

and also screen

I have a small open source project called Termbeamer (termbeamer.com) that lets two or more people share a terminal session over the internet.

I started the project because screen sharing services don't work well for pair programming (for me at least).

Check out http://screenx.tv/

Reminds me of shelr.tv. Just with a better UI.

Does it support Unicode?
