Port for asciinema

[rwev]

A nord terminal theme for asciinema would be a welcome addition to the set of already awesome ports.

Custom asciinema terminal themes HOWTO.

Hi @rwev 👋, thanks for your contribution 👍

I've added it to the backlog and @-mention you as soon as I start working on it so you can track the progress or contribute ideas for this port project.

Please note that it may take some time for this port project to be implemented.
There is a massive amount of other issues & PRs over many other port projects with requests and proposals waiting in the queue as well as 50+ port project requests in the backlog. I'm currently very busy working and focusing on the data transition of all port projects to the new and shiny website and documentations to finally have a „single source of truth“ for Nord and all related data, reduce the maintenance overhead and increase the overall project quality.

Please also take into account that I work as a software developer in the "real world" and I hope you understand that the time to work on my projects may vary depending on my free time. 🙏

Feel free to work on a port on your own and maybe submit it into a public repository so other users can use it in the meantime. This could also help to bootstrap the official port later on by using it as fundamental code base 😄

Hi,

I've started the port at nord-asciinema. You can see demo here.

I took a somewhat hacky approach - basically just retrofitted the colors in the asciinema player to the terminal in which I made the recording (alacritty + tmux + vim, all with nord themes).

I'd appreciate your feedback, and any corrections you may have.

I'm sure inconsistencies will appear over time because I don't think I properly defined all of the 16 foreground / background color pairs that asciinema demands; only a subset were needed to make my Python demo work.

Thanks again for the already awesome theme and set of ports!

Liebe Gruesse aus Rostock,

Ryan

I plan on putting a pull request into asciinema-player to add nord to the list of themes available out of the box.

They currently support a small list (tango, solarized-dark, solarized-light, monokai) and I think nord would be a welcome addition.

That said, before it gets added to that central codebase, I'd like to have a more confidence that the the nord-asciinema is complete and consistent with other ports.

Do you think you could do a little testing on your own cases (I'm not sure whether you've had experience with asciinema) and let me know what changes are needed?

[rwev]

Just touching base on this. Do you have the bandwidth to give it a look?

It is foreseeable that an official port will unfortunately only be available later due to the high amount of other requests and tasks so I guess making it available as bundled theme is a good way to ship it to users in the meantime.
Since Nord is MIT licensed the Asciinema maintainers/contributors could add it anytime anyway so adding it through the Nord community is by far better 😄
Also great you ask for review and confirmation before submitting it 💪

I know Asciinema (popular choice for CLI based open source app demos) and also used it a couple of times but I'd need to take some more time to review your port. I'll try to read and test it next weekend.
