What does HackerNews think of asciinema-player?

You can record and play cast files offline easily. You can also embed an asciinema js player [1] on your own site to play casts.

> no third party websites

FYI you're not forced to use asciinema.org for hosting the recordings, it's fully self-hosting friendly: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema-player/#quick-start

asciinema is open-source and the file format is publicly documented (asciicast)[1]. You can run `asciinema rec filename.json` to save the file locally and self-host it with asciinema-player[2]. Alternatively, there's also asciicast2gif[3] that converts asciicast json to GIF image.

I'm regularly hearing about web applications written in ClojureScript, a.k.a. Clojure (a dialect of Lisp, [1]) compiled to JavaScript. Recently I've heard of:

- https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema-player

- https://precursorapp.com/ (not open-source)

I haven't dug into the details, but both the player[1] and the website[2] code are available so it should be possible to set up your own website if you like.
