Can i use screen command with EtherPad too ? Would be nice sharing a terminal session on the web with others.

You could at least hack something like that up. From within screen, yu should be able to type C-a H to begin logging to the `screenlog.0` file.

From another terminal, you can then do something like tail -f screenlog.0 | etherpad mypad

Also, look into the ttyrec and script commands

The limitations: The screen method won't follow you across screens and it won't interpret ansi escape codes

I thought I'd browse the source code and find a cool tool that does this using basic unix commands and syscalls. But then: #!/usr/bin/env node facepalm . And since the code uses an etherpad dependency, it is completely trivial. How is this HN-worthy?

Would not using node single-handedly make this HN-worthy? What if it were say, python?
