Author of termtosvg here. I've posted this project a month ago [1] and got a lot of feedback from all of you. I've since fixed a few issues and implemented SVG templates. Templates are skeleton files where termtosvg embeds the animations. This makes it possible to:

- add a terminal UI to the animation

- add animation controls (play, pause, seek...) with JavaScript

- customize the terminal color theme

- probably much more

A few default templates are provided with termtosvg and users can create their own templates too.

This should make termtosvg more versatile and also adress the most requested feature which is a way to control the animation.

I doubt termtosvg will evolve much more, except for minor improvements, so I'd like to know what you all think of this. Thanks!
