On mobile, the viewport scrolls to the top of the page each time you type a character, moving the command line down and out of view. If the viewport must move when you type it should jump to the bottom.

#123I'm going to represent the critical opinion and say: this is cute and I like the idea in theory, but if I encountered this in the wild, I would just leave the page. I explore most informational websites with a mouse or a touchscreen - I don't want to type to navigate your website! A middleground might be to make the commands clickable, so that clicking on "help" automatically inserts and runs it, and clicking on any…

Exactly. I can appreciate the effort behind it, but if you want me to consume your content, you need to make it obvious and easy and not make me work for it.

#124This is a really cool design for a website, but I can't imagine it would be too user friendly for mobile users. It's still awesome to use on desktop.
Howdy - I know I'm digging this up from the past, but your comment prompted me to add some mobile friendliness to my own take at this: https://con.rs
Of note - autosuggest options, clickable links for ls output.

#125Good job! Make it more mobile-friendly (only tested on iPhone). Like many others suggested, make the segments clickable for non-technical people to navigate, and add commands like cd, ls, etc., to make it more interesting for hackers. Gobez!
I took a stab at adding some mobile friendliness to my own implementation, if you wanted to take a look: https://con.rs

#126Looks nice, but feels like it's not complete. No tab completion. The font styles are not terminal like. Looks weird with those headers. Would be also great to be able to click stuff. In my opinion this needs improvement in either way. Otherwise feels half-baked, you didn't go full terminal way at the same time did not give an easy way to navigate.
Howdy, I took a stab at adding some of these features to my own implementation, the tab completion is pretty rudimentary though. Clickable things was a great idea, I have ls's output as a link that auto runs the corresponding command to view the content.

#127Make it fully navigable by clicking. Every time you suggest commands (like "help"), let the user click them, and the UI responds as if they typed it and hit enter. Every command that can be typed/clicked can be highlighted a green color or something.
Great idea, I went ahead and implemented it on my own site: https://con.rs
