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?

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

Good job!

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 :-)

can anyone recommend a service like this for realtime sharing?

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

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).

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

http://ascii.io/~sickill

which gives

You shouldn't be here. Really.

You are welcome ;-)

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.

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.

Does it support Unicode?

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