Hey Alan,
I'm not sure if my recommendation will fit your requirements. Dealing with
terminal control sequences (particularly for non-linear applications) can
be challenging. Instead, I like the approach that asciinema [0] takes:
record the control sequences, but also record additional metadata to
allow playing them back. Their file-format of choice is JSON.
I've attached a small example recording. To play it back, run `asciinema
play trilug-example`. They also have an HTML5 player. They push their
cloud hosting service, but self-hosting is easy as well [1].

Best,
