Looking at this project, what I'm most amazed by is how the author of the presentation on the frontpage only made one typo the entire presentation. I mean, that's amazing :)

I have to admit, I'd be concerned about accidentally leaking a password. Damned cool concept, not sure I'd want to actually use it.

The docs say you can change the api url to your own instance pretty easily: https://asciinema.org/docs/faq

I haven't tried it, but the server is available here if you want to give it a shot: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema.org

Thanks. I'm already using it for tutorials ascii-casts. Works great so far.

I can't help but pronounce this "ASCII enema" :/

The moment when it told me to copy paste blew my mind.

I've been meaning to try something like this at work for training and documentation. Haven't yet, but here's the previous discussion of showterm:

A couple of interesting repositories mentioned in that discussion:

https://github.com/chjj/term.js

https://github.com/chjj/tty.js

There was also mention of ascii.io (currently unreachable) and shelr.tv (domain squatter).
