create an asciicast

[derhuerst]

Compared to a GIF, an asciicast has a few advantages:

• It can be paused.
• It is a lot smaller than a GIF showing 50 spinners.
• It can be copied & pasted.
• It could be generated automatically on every release/push using an npm script.

I'd love to contribute an asciicast to the readme.

That's a great idea. PR most welcome :)

@sindresorhus Is it on purpose that example-all.js has no abort logic? It just fails by exception once all spinners have been shown. Not very nice to show in an asciicast 😄

@sindresorhus I could create an NPM script that records and uploads everything, but asciinema is a non-NPM dependency. Shall I create it anyway?

I threw that file together in 5 min. I'm sure it could be improved (#4) in many ways. Happy to see improvements to it ;)

Yeah, sure. As long as it works by me just having the asciinema $PATH, I'm happy.

Done as of #12.
