It's a tmux window displaying the log file for the share.esdf.io domain. It refreshes every second, so the message above about animated examples applies.
I don't use tmux, but I'm considering it just because of this super fancy tool here.
I would like to hear about interesting use cases. Is that when you want to show what you're doing to your boss? Or when you want to impress a novice programmer?
tmux is simply fantastic for keeping a session active. Not to mention you won't need to use multiple disjointed emulator windows to do something like keep tabs on a log file while you're working. You can even "full screen" a pane by pressing `Ctrl+b z`! I love being able to ssh into a server (or even my home computer) and simply resume where I left off, from any computer! My friend, let me also take a moment to tell you about Vim.... ;)
Back on topic: I think it would be good for anything where you want things to look almost exactly what's on your screen with high fidelity. Someone submitted an issue to have tmux2html continuously write to the same file that reloads itself. That could be used to have a not-so-realtime snapshot of a pane that's accessible from a browser. Perhaps, some weirdly draconian workplace that requires all employees to use tmux can routinely take a snapshot of all workstation sessions to make sure they aren't goofing off watching ASCII youtube[1]. Who knows!
I've been using vim for a long time now, although I am still a neophyte.
And I have tried tmux some time ago, but couldn't get used to the keybindings that conflicted with those of vim (I'm against doing too much customization -- specially of keybindings --, because that will make me useless when using other people's computers). Is this a real problem or was it just something I did wrong?

The example links are actually hosted on my server and were uploaded using Dropshare. Pretty easy peasy if I need to share something that I don't want public.

It is displaying the log file for my share.esdf.io domain (with IPs masked). I may take that link down in an hour or two if my puny server gets hammered.
I use tmux all the time. Even went as far as setting up a dedicated "tmux server" when I was more focused on systems.
This tool will definitely come in handy. Thanks for the great work!
I posted this on /r/coolgithubprojects and one of the comments was someone thought that the linked examples were screenshots until they selected the text.
In any case I'll post a separate comment with the linked examples.
