Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser tool for turning scripted terminal sessions into animated SVG demos for READMEs.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

The page models a terminal recording as a short “tape”: commands can be typed, output lines emitted, pauses inserted, and status colors assigned before the result is replayed or exported. Its example contains seven lines and runs 4.1 seconds; controls expose typing speed, end hold, loop state, window chrome, theme, dimensions, and font size. The site says the resulting fixed-width SVG can be kept in a repository and used like an image.
