You could pack so much into a single binary distributable media file. Games, videos, websites, infographics, tools, chat rooms.
SWF was brilliant and it should have thrived.
SVG support full javascript. It has networking support.
(In web browsers the <img> tag allows only restricted subset, butbyou get the full thing with iframe)
As for the first link, I immediately had to come up with a way to click on the warheads programmatically. I saved the world! :D
It would never even enter my mind that every single subway stop isn’t wheelchair accessible.
Bookmarked!
I was thinking that might be a useful thing for people to spot when a ToS, EULA, etc. changed since those are long documents that frequently get sneaky revisions.
That said, OP's SVG trick may be a smarter choice if the content is a terminal capture.
When I've personally animated SVGs for use in RevealJS presentations, I tend to use CSS animations that I could control with JS if I wanted.
The idea of committing a video to your repository for a PR seems silly. Every PR adds a new video to the codebase? Do you make a PR to prune them every once in a while?

edit: sigh.... Works in Firefox and Chrome. Has issues in Safari - I'm sure I could futs with it more and get it to work everywhere but still, sadness
I think it's best for embedding a motion demo of a feature your software provides, no more than 5 seconds. Even then, a video option may be useful to some people.
It's quite a challenge for copy-paste to be useful when the terminal is scrolling.

Here is an evil example SVG for demonstration.

Although if the affect area does escape the tab, the issue will have higher priority because that would be annoying to user.
Yes, by setting the repeatCount or repeatDur attribute of the <animate> tag to "indefinite". Notably, since <animation> tags effect individual attributes and not the image as a whole, different parts of the image can be on different animation cycles and don't have to add up to some small common multiple.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Reference/E...
<svg viewBox="0 0 10 10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<rect width="10" height="10">
<animate
attributeName="rx"
values="0;5;0"
dur="10s"
repeatCount="indefinite" />
</rect>
</svg>So not only do you get all the animation support from the attributes, you can fill in anything you need from scripting.
Yes it does.
https://www.w3schools.com/graphics/svg_animation.asp - Has some examples, you may need to refresh to see some of them (ones that don't repeat) in action as you scroll down the page.
* pluggable execution engine/memory model (WASM, JVM, CLR, etc)
* SVG output (binary or text)
From there, the developer can choose whatever model he wants to display a "page", no longer be limited to the Document Object Model.
I think the world is _much_ better off today, with a common language and platform. I don't think those big third party runtimes could survive in the browser in today's threat environment.
How are apps like AutoCAD Web, Photopea, Figma, Google Docs, Google Earth Web, and Flutter for Web apps (CanvasKit) different than what you're asking for? AFAIK developers aren't forced to use the DOM for applications where it's not the best choice.
I’m wondering what other applications this could have
At least every CLI/terminal tool could use it to showcase their application
Example from the Mariner repo[1] after doing a quick google and finding a link to the site.

I thought people were just doing GIF color palette optimization with ffmpeg instead.
And even in software which don't support APNG, it'll render as the first frame of the animation, which is probably a fine fallback.
$ asciinema rec test.cast
<do stuff in the terminal then ctrl-d>
$ cat test.cast | svg-term --out=test.svg
edit: formatting
Gmail get it together!
And sure, you can convert GIF to MP4, but I would question the workflow of anyone using animated GIFs for screen capture in the first place.

Last commit ~6 years ago. Does not appear to be any viable forks either.
Fortunately, I use nix to manage my system which sort of forces me to inspect the maintenance history of projects. Better than blindly installing `npm` packages in global namespace.
asciinema on the other hand is very interesting. Seems I can do without the svg aspect here, but something to keep in mind (svg animations).
