My co-founder wrote a bit about Asciinema as part of a comprehensive comparison of terminal recorders [1]. There's a lot to love about it (wide availability, very nice JavaScript playback -- check out the Game of Life playback at [1]), but it's a bit of a chore to self host, if that's important for you.

The difficulty in self-hosting was what prevented us from using this at my job. Proprietary source code, and whatnot.
asciinema dev here. Where did you get impression it's proprietary? I'm really curious because it's fully open-source, with all components open-source and usable independently, and there's no company or business model behind it. Just me and my spare hobby time.
