So... I can just view source and see all the available data. That is a lot faster then typing in commands.
You could also just run tree on your computer instead of navigating directories

#52Interesting, but Tab completion seems broken: cd Foosball/ cat r Selecting text (on Firefox) doesn't seem to work either.
hmm tab completion is working for me in FF 56

#53The 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.) ?
Yeah, the one thing that made me click away from the site was the particle effects when typing. It really broke that 'suspension of disbelief' moment for me. I know it is not a real terminal, but if you are going to go to the effort of making people feel they are interacting with a terminal, then don't break that illusion with fancy chrome.
Agree. It's a fun effect to show off as a FE dev I guess, but it feels out of character. Maybe make a "party mode" or something? You could click a disco ball to turn it on! :D Other than that, cool idea and well executed.

#54It'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 bet there would be A LOT of 'rm -rf /'-ing going on. I'll admit it was about the second thing I tried.
In the same vein, I always try ‘cat /etc/passwd’

That's actually from an atom plugin called Activate Power Mode: https://atom.io/packages/activate-power-mode
Some of my colleagues use it and I tell them they're absolutely nuts, but they swear by it. It reminds them their code has meaning, I guess? Haha

Re: My personal site is a terminal
#58Your `cat` command doesn't take multiple arguments, which is ironic since it's supposed to concatenate multiple files.

#59"Just one thing" - I'm sure Karl knows this is not fully-fledged, bug-free terminal.
Great concept Karl, I think you're a no-brainer hire for anyone who wants to add out-of-the box problem-solving to their team, since you just hacked your personal brand publicity very creatively :)

Interestingly, this one doesn't register as text input with vimium so it's completely incompatible. OP's does register.
