I'm at the opposite end of the cli taste spectrum (my PS1 is a single character), but I love this site.

#42No idea if the tools are any good, but I absolutely love your branding. Opinionated, but perfect for the demographic.

What is the demographic you think this is perfect for? Just curious who this appeals to. It's not for me but that's OK I like opinionated things and recognised that that this is aimed at someone who probably will love it.

#44Gross candy-store like website.
I can not believe that the start page is nearly 14 MB big.
And I still don't understand what they sell.

I am the demographic in that I love using the command line and want to see it get modernized. I thought the design was terrible. Noisy and pointless and frankly hard to see what is on offer. It’s pretty and stylish but absolutely awful if you care about the content, and that makes me worry that the components themselves will be similar.
Maybe it's aimed at a younger demographic and not just all devs that use cli tools. The design doesn't appeal to me but the several animated examples and quick blurbs about functionality seemed to showcase what was on offer pretty well.

#46This looks cool!
But: These mostly aren't command line applications, they're mostly terminal applications. They're no more "command-line" than running "firefox" from your shell is "command-line".
There's a big difference... a terminal application takes over your terminal and doesn't have all the usual advantages of command-line applications used from the shell, like history and easy scripting.

Side note on web design: uBlock blocked nothing . Usually when a page that looks like this comes up, I notice 10's to 100's of blocked requests. On top of that, I disabled JS out of curiosity, and the site worked completely fine, sans expected failures (the only thing that stopped working was the little videos by the libraries)! I think this is the first site with this level of "Design" (Which I usually hate, but the…
Great observation. I had opened it on my old mobile browser and it loaded super fast too!
I feel kinda compelled to run a torture test now.
Just tried w3m on desktop and it was decent, anyone have IE sitting around?

I really liked their web design.

Agree. I'm generally a fan of the more simplistic websites (sometimes that means them not looking modern at all), but they did a fantastic job here.

Perfect is a strong word, but it definitely seems to target a younger dev demographic and more specifically, maybe one that likes Japanese style animated cartoons.

Upon connecting to the demo, they seem to use TUI for what you're talking about and CLI for what you're not talking about.
