Yet another tool to generate input

Hi everyone, I wanted to generate one of those terminal animations as a demo for my project (related to Ansible), and I wanted to do that:

  • automatically (as in, repeatable-and-I-will-never have-type-those-things-again)
  • mimicking a typing human, with some random pauses and jitter

I could not find anything that would do it (or maybe I haven’t searched enough), so I ended up writing one. There is a lot of room for improvement, but if anyone’s keen to give it a try, it is called asciinwriter (the idea was to name it screenwriter but that package name was already taken).

Hope it is useful to others!

Cheers,
Alex

Cool!

Have you checked the others tools out there? Integrations - asciinema docs

I hadn’t!! Thanks for the pointer - though it makes me feel like I invented … a wheel! :grin:
