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.
There is a Real Terminal Emulator™ with some effects close to this (including, I believe, a nyancat cursor) called Terminology (from the Enlightenment folks).

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
I once helped conduct a hiring interview where the candidate had that enabled, it had an especially bad effect on the video compression in google hangouts screensharing.

Wow, that's a lot braver.

still works!?!?!?
Yes! Like Dreamweaver is still alive!?!?!?
I still use Dreamweaver 8 and 9. (They are the same thing actually, 9 is just rebranded as 'Adobe')
No, I don't use design mode; I always live in code mode.
I've added the HTML5 intellisense/syntax-highlighting add-on extension, which brings it up to modern standards, and I've created new HTML5 templates.
It supports all the languages I need, and means I can have CSS, HTML, and JS all in the same editor with the same IDE features.
It does me.

It was fun though. I learned to use Dreamweaver MX because at the time I was in elementary school and my teacher just started a campus newsletter club. We were also lucky to have computer class and got some HTML lessons. Mind you, this was 1999-2003 in HK. I was very disappointed at US’ computer class in my junior high.

Breaks after the first input is submitted. Won't let you type further.
Re: My personal site is a terminal
#80Hey I just wanted to point out that this really cool site you built doesn’t have some of the features of a full terminal on Linux.
I'm specifically annoyed that readline binding of open editor, ctrl-x ctrl-e doesn't work. Please fix, never visiting your site again. (Tongue in cheeks).
