A first implementation of using SVG terminal-grab scripts has been implemented in the Coming-soon page.

In Commit f3cbb7de88, a description of how to do this has been added in the top of doc/release-checklist.txt.

Ideally, upon every release, this 'coming-soon' page will become a demo for the new features of that release and its URL will be put in the announcement.

This is just a very fast and crude first implementation to get this started now that new work on Gnuastro 0.15 has started. So please share your thoughts on making it better and more visiter-friendly (for example, I do look forward to adding more space between items so the animated terminals don't overlap too much in one screen, if you have any thoughts on how to do this, please let share them here).

There are some nice tools to save what is being done on the terminal to a low-volume animated formats like SVG or GIF file that can be displayed on a webpage easily. This is very good for demonstration purposes on the webpage.

For example the asciicast2gif package which uses the outputs of asciinema. asciinema is very interesting: you run it and it saves everything that is typed/printed on the terminal along with a time stamp in a plain text file. asciicast2gif then converts that information into a graphic rendering of the terminal as a GIF image!

Alternatively, svg-term-cli does a similar thing, but generates animated SVG files (very good display of fonts sharply on the monitor since its vector graphics).

On asciicast2gif's README, there are also links to some alternatives:
