#12Kind of disappointed that there is no option for commands like “ls” or “whoami”. I think it would be a nice addition, especially if this inspires other people to launch similar pages for other types of products.

#15Hmm, a CLI interface for consumer purchasing. Can I pipe that order through to a payment processor and delivery method? Script my meals for the week?
Everquest has you beat by a couple decades: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna7020132
In that game you can type /pizza and it'll get ordered and delivered

#16Love the idea! Congratulations (?) on being sold out!
My constructive feedback is that the text contrast is so low (in iTerm2 anyway) I can barely read anything. I thought only web pages had that problem, but I guess sufficiently sophisticated TUI apps have designer color problems too! What's next, incredibly tiny terminal fonts? (jk, designers...sort of)

#17It's sold out and the only option if you actually connect via ssh is to give them your email address so they can send you updates.
Makes me wonder if this is just a ploy to email harvest and there never was any coffee being sold.

#18I wanted to ask if they do telnet/finger also, but there is no email listed.

#19Interesting. I like this. No need for a cookie banner.
I mean, if they somehow ported google analytics (or some other brokered PII network) I think they technically would need consent and disclosure.

But what if I want coffee and a cookie?
