Finally, a shell that has the past trail off below (revchron/blog-style) rather than up above (typewriter/terminal-style)!
printed in any other way... would want their shell output I never understood why anyone Yes, what a great innovation!
On screens, freshest/latest-on-top makes more sense, and is just as easy to effect. Inherently online forms, like blogs and newsfeeds, have already inverted their preferred mapping of time-to-vertical-position. I predict many interactive shells and chatrooms will also invert soon.

I wrote a second little app to track this at http://webshell.io/prototype/Njc5Z/8 just keep clicking Run to see it update, as people run the original app and hopefully enter their name or something.

You may jest, but the traditional ordering, appending later material/writing to the bottom, is an artifact of the mechanics of handwriting and then typing-on-paper. On screens, freshest/latest-on-top makes more sense, and is just as easy to effect.
