What Hacker News says

2 sources
Every time I see posts about recording GIFs, I'm always surprised Byzanz (https://github.com/GNOME/byzanz) isn't more well known. Here's a GIF I just recorded with it: http://i.imgur.com/kQl7qHp.gif. The colors aren't perfect, but the file sizes are always surprisingly small. The one linked is 10 seconds long and about 500kB. It's kind of janky, but here's the script I've been using for the past year or so without fault for recording: https://github.com/zachlatta/dotfiles/blob/master/local/bin/....
