# About asciinema
|
|
|
|
asciinema (formerly ascii.io) is a free and open source solution for
|
|
recording terminal sessions and sharing them on the web.
|
|
|
|
It aims to be a "go to" place for every command-line user who wants to share
|
|
their skills with others. Or putting it differently, it's a place to show off
|
|
your geekiness.
|
|
|
|
asciinema project is built of several sub-projects:
|
|
|
|
* command-line based terminal session recorder, `asciinema` ([source code](https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema))
|
|
* asciinema.org - a website with an API ([source code](https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema.org))
|
|
* javascript player ([source code](https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema-player))
|

## A bit of history
|
|
|
|
asciinema project was started by <a href="/~sickill">Marcin Kulik</a>
|
|
([@sickill](https://twitter.com/sickill)) in the beginning of 2011 as
|
|
ascii.io. He was playing with the idea of sharing terminal session
|
|
recordings on the web since 2010 but the working prototype came to life a bit
|
|
later. asciinema.org site had a first public release in March 2012 (as
|
|
ascii.io then). The project was renamed to "asciinema" in September 2013.
|
|
|
|
asciinema is actively developed with the help of great open
|
|
source [contributors](https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema.org/contributors).
