This is great for many of the same reasons that asciinema is great -- smooth animation and selectable text. The resulting svg is orders of magnitude smaller than a gif would be.

How hard would it be to add some sort of pause button to aid in selecting from the capture? Also, it appears you can only select when you are viewing the image directly, not when it is embedded via an <img> tag. Is that fixable? I guess maybe an <iframe> might work, but I haven't played with it yet.

I wonder if you could just use a javascript button to pause the animation and if that would make the text selectable.
