Features
- API endpoint for uploading asciicast files via CLI
- Embedded asciinema player for seamless terminal playback
- Options for public, unlisted, or private session visibility
- Embeddable sessions via SVG thumbnails or iframe
- Metadata editing (title, description) using Markdown
- Privacy-focused—no ads or tracking, full ownership with self‑hosting
