My personal site is a terminal

I had mine for a while now http://chandrabhavanasi.com/ which was based off of jquery and a bunch of hardcoding. I haven't updated it in a while though. The new ones I see once in a while on hn like these are pretty nice though.

I love it!

Just one thing though, when hitting tab it seems to be getting the root file and it doesn't work then.

E.g cd Photo-Video cd Sunrise

The effects during typing are a little distracting.

Do you plan to allow the usual string navigation shortcuts that my hands are apparently unable to type without? (^-a ^-e ^-k, etc.) ?

It'd be interesting to collect stats on all the commands people try to run, and to implement all the ones Linux users are likely to have wired into muscle memory.

I make sure to type 'sudo make me a sandwich' on all of these.

Reminds me of the XKCD April Fools terminal, whose code is actually available here: https://github.com/chromakode/xkcdfools
