SWACN - Don't just watch the recording. Walk inside it.

by•
SWACN is a tool that turns terminal recordings into interactive, bootable sandboxes. If you’ve ever used asciinema, you know it’s great for watching a CLI tool in action. SWACN takes that a step further: it captures your terminal session and its filesystem into a tiny, client-side Linux VM (running in WASM). Your audience doesn't just watch a video; they can "flip" the recording and actually use the tool themselves right there in the browser.

I built SWACN because I was tired of asking people to 'trust me and install this' just to try a CLI tool I built. It’s a way to package your terminal recordings with a live, client-side Linux VM. It lets your audience move from watching a recording to actually touching the code in a safe, instant sandbox.
