I created a terminal style website.

Screenshot of the website

Repo: https://github.com/m4tt72/terminal

Why?

I'm a Linux enthusiast, and I tried creating something that will allow 'normal' people to have a glimpse at my world.

Feedback is welcomed πŸ™

That's cool! I wanted to create exact the same thing. Now I can just use yours and replace your name. :D

Haha, feel free to do that πŸ‘€. I might add a command that will generate a similar website with custom name, theme, font etc...

One feature suggestion -- perhaps complete the command with tab (like when I type whoa {tab} it completes to whom

Also, the jackass in me tried sudo. There's an Easter egg waiting for you to code with that somehow

(finishing my MBA by the end of next month and starting a new job next week. But if I have the time (which is a big iff), I'll make a PR)

YO!!!! Are you me from the past?? LOL

I got a good (not so good) talking to when we redid the video site back in 2009 or 2010 and I inserted the Family Guy version of this when someone enters the Konami code.

Looking back, I have no idea how I kept that job with the shiz I pulled off in my formative years πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ (yes I know that’s an old person’s emoji)

Oh yeah about that tab completions, I'm currently working on that. As well as arrows to browse the history. But I mean, I'm worried I'm going to reinvent bash πŸ˜…

Take it from an old geezer like me -- no such thing as "reinventing" when you see it as deeply learning why and how something works ;-)

Excelsior!

Wooow, looks really cool and original :D One remark from my side, maybe it will be better to get back focus on input when user click somewhere on the page? Now you need to click exactly in the line where input is.

Love it! Reminds me of the time we made the Adult Swim site look like a broken server /Apache directory. Everybody thought we got hacked -- even the server devs (who knew we were on Nginx and could see there was ads on the pageπŸ’€πŸ’€)

I might extract that data later and make it easy for other people to use ;)

Very retro, I like it!

Looks amazing. The weather widget blew my mind -- does it look like that on Linux at all?
