Asciinema, the terminal YouTube

Ideas
1

I was about to search for a taskwarrior tutorial on YouTube but first I think of search on asciinema.org. I was very disappointed when I realized there is no search tool on home. And AFAIK nowhere in the site. The closest thing is in /explore/public. I didn’t found if this was already mentioned:

I think asciinema.org could be the YouTube of terminal screencast, there is a huge potential, adding some of the great features YT have like rate, view count and playback speed control (very important since typing is slower than reading).
Even could be a comment area (more pro with ratings like reddit) and (why not?) a nerd social network.

Definitely agree. We need videos (terminal records) searching and suggesting on this site.

Great ideas, and I’ve been thinking about these on many occasions. There’s just not enough time to implement all of this, and then deal with the maintenance.

But, starting with a site-wide search should be high-value not-so-high-effort feature. ElasticSearch or Solr could be good options for this.
