Have been using it in Claude Code with Max Plan for one day. The rate of acceptance is noticeably higher.


Hi, I'm working on something tackling this problem. Do you mind if I contact you for more discussions?


feel free, email in bio.


It should be pretty easy to export to MP4, but using SVG will be lighter and faster, which is why we created the dg tool to automatically export to SVG. Please see my previous comments if interested


We use asciinema to record CLI tools terminals and add the recordings as svg to our README. We also use the recordings to replay as part of our CI. works great!


How do you use the recordings as part of the CI?


We made a tool using termsvg: https://github.com/DeepGuide-Ai/dg. It'll use recorded sessions and execute the non-interactive sessions during CI.


That sounds cool! An animated SVG? How do you convert to SVG format?


We use termsvg to convert cast to svg automatically. The tool is open source: https://github.com/DeepGuide-Ai/dg.


Thanks! I hadn't heard of it!


svg-term-cli I think. I found a post talking about it not long ago.

Upon investigation, both dg and svg-term-cli output SVG with embedded CSS animation. So it's not that SVG supports animation per se. This also remodels my understanding of what CSS animation can do.


Using SVG for Demos is much better than GIFs or Videos due to the lightweight nature. We have created a tool to make the recording and sharing CLI tool demos much easier: https://github.com/DeepGuide-Ai/dg . Simply call `dg capture` and it generates the svg and content ready to paste to README. An added benefit is it can be used for CI validations. It utilizes termsvg under the hood. Would love your comments.
