Magellan is a Go implementation of my RealTime GraphQL protocol. In this cast you can see it streaming changes to data in real-time. The step counter is incremented, the names of some people change, and the query itself changes multiple times. The system automatically deals with the complexity of synchronizing these things between the server and client, as you can see here.

You can download this recording in asciicast v1 format, as a .json file.

Download

Replay in terminal

You can replay the downloaded recording in your terminal using the asciinema play command:

asciinema play 102079.json

If you don't have asciinema CLI installed then see installation instructions.

Use with stand-alone player on your website

Download asciinema player from the releases page (you only need .js and .css file), then use it like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="asciinema-player.css" />
</head>
<body>
  <div id="player"></div>
  <script src="asciinema-player.min.js"></script>
  <script>
    AsciinemaPlayer.create(
      '/assets/102079.json',
      document.getElementById('player'),
      { cols: 170, rows: 46 }
    );
  </script>
</body>
</html>

See asciinema player quick-start guide for full usage instructions.

While this site doesn't offer GIF conversion at the moment, you can still do it yourself with the help of asciinema GIF generator utility - agg.

Once you have it installed run the following command to create GIF file:

agg https://asciinema.org/a/102079 102079.gif

Or, if you already downloaded the recording file:

agg 102079.json 102079.gif

Check agg --help for all available options. You can change font family and size, select color theme, adjust speed and more.

See agg manual for full usage instructions.
