The explosion/flashing thing is somewhat annoying. Honestly comes off as childish.
Tab-completion _deletes_ word under cursor if no match is found? Why?
Why is the terminal built on angular? Seems like an overkill. Partly because I think Angular is a terrible abomination, but in general there's not much going on there to even warrant a framework.
:(
I had mine for a while now http://chandrabhavanasi.com/ which was based off of jquery and a bunch of hardcoding. I haven't updated it in a while though. The new ones I see once in a while on hn like these are pretty nice though.
Hey 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 am especially annoyed that little exploding color circles don't appear when I type on a full terminal on Linux.
Edit: Never mind, someone time-travelled and did it a year ago. https://atom.io/packages/activate-power-mode
Well played Karlsteltenpohl, well played.
* Tab completion was glitchy
* Deleting characters mid line was glitchy
* Commands don't follow common idioms:
- `ls *` would fail
- `ls -l` would fail
- `ls ` (space char after `ls` command) would fail
* I couldn't select the output from `ls` to paste into the prompt
* Symlinks don't behave link symlinks:
- I cannot `cat` them, have to click with a mouse
- Yet they are still displayed as a file in `ls`
* Common readline shortcuts like ^U don't work
* It barely works on mobile / tablets:
- Scrolling is all over the place
- Screen doesn't resize to use the full screen
- Pain to type commands on mobile keyboard because they auto-capitalise first characters
Given this is your main way to navigate the site rather than a secondary navigation system, I think it's something you either need to go full out or not bother at all as the novelty of a partially compatible - inspired by Bash - approach wears off very quickly resulting an in frustrating overall experience.
