This is pretty awesome. I'm a big fan of both SVG animations and terminal recorders, so this is right up my alley. I previously built a small library called svganimator for creating smooth animations between static SVG images [1], used generated SVG animations to help design the Wayback Machine loading animation [2], and also put together a fairly comprehensive comparison of terminal recording solutions [3]. I'll need to update the comparisons to include termtosvg, I can't wait to try it out and see what the file sizes look like.
As others have mentioned, the major issue with SVG animations is that Microsoft doesn't plan to ever include support for them in Edge. This means that you either need to create fallbacks specifically for Microsoft browsers, or to disregard that portion of the market on your website. It's a real shame because SVG/SMIL allows you to create high quality animations which require a fraction of the bandwidth that would be necessary for comparable GIF or video files.
