OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

	#!/usr/local/bin/python3
	# one-off scraper for egghead.io videos in a series
	# usage: chmod +x grabber.py && ./grabber.py <series stub>
	# requires youtube-dl (`brew install youtube-dl`)
	import os
	import subprocess
	import json
	import argparse
	from urllib.request import urlretrieve

	import React, { Component } from 'react'

	class Blink extends Component {
	constructor () {
	super()
	this.state = { visible: true }
	this.blink = this.blink.bind(this)
	this.interval = null
	}
	blink () {

	#!/usr/bin/env python
	# -- coding: utf-8 --
	# scrape complex systems article pdfs
	# requires bs4: `pip install beautifulsoup4`
	import os
	import re
	import json
	from urllib import urlopen as get, urlretrieve as save
	from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
