Just finished my new homepage! A terminal emulator where you can list ('ls') my projects and then view (cd) them!
I'm sure it's been done before, but it was fun

Just tried it out and its great!

Damn this is good!

// its funny how the root has only rights to read ;)

@Golank thanks :)

@b3b3 thank you! And I actually thought a lot about that, I decided in the end it'll either be the root not having write access, or allowing people to write to my projects
Which.. I guess they can, being on github..
Didn't think for long enough then, it would seem

Oh also I can currently inject html into your website (client-side, of course) by typing in the tags into the "console", I would recommend finding a solution for this :P

@Golank oh whoops, I'll have a look at that tomorrow but I'm way too tired currently

@j4cobgarby its totally fine :) I would want to give users "write access" (not really). But any other user acc would look bad so you made the right decision I guess. Didn't want to offend you or anything. It just looked funny 😂

@b3b3 well then thank you again, you didn't offend me

Bit awkward on mobile, because only the edit area is actually clickable, versus a terminal where you click anywhere and then just type (many sites I saw actually replicated that pretty well)

Also the header is overflowing to the right side. Great project though.

Oh God, this is so cool! Do you mind if I borrow your idea for my website? It will not look exactly the same but it would be similar.

Epic!

@JoshBent yeah there's a bit I need to polish, but that was only about an hours work
Thanks!

@dottedr thank you! :) you can of course use the idea on your own site, I'd take that as a compliment

So cool! 😱

Damn this is good

Looks like Google foobar

@gurnah welcome to DevRant :)

this looks amazing, if I may ask, how did you do it ?!

@j4cobgarby Thanks!

@K4YT3X not actually open source, but I would have no problem with putting it on github

@Lahsen2016 you're absolutely right

@gurnah I'm not sure what solus is

@gitpush it's pretty simple, I basically just have a <pre> element with the contents of the terminal, and underneath that an input box, then every time enters pressed I just handle that

@gurnah Oh, well I'm just using Manjaro with a quite customised gnome :)

@Nanos you may need to make sure you have the input area selected (to the right of the prompt)

@Nanos I'll try to do that, but this is the first web stuff I've done in a while so I can't remember how
What would be even better, I think, would be to allow input from anywhere in the page, so the input wouldn't even be necessary

I'm doing something similar, but something similar to LucasFilms/Arts and Sierra adventure games. Is it open source? I wouldn't mind having a look myself

@K4YT3X @theuser it's open source at https://github.com/j4cobgarby/... :)

@j4cobgarby Thanks, I'll have a looksee

Updated: typing now works even without the input selected

@j4cobgarby doesnt trigger the keyboard on a phone, so doesnt work at all.

@JoshBent I know, but I have a plan, I'll probably fix that tomorrow, or maybe just redirect to a different page for mobile

--no dark theme? i'm disappointed-- 😏
NEVERMIND turns out i'm just blind, well done

@edensg white theme defaults get even the best of us blind.

I did the same,but with a real terminal instead. Just ls works tho lmao

Gj M8 :)

Give me dark theme now!!! You almost blinded me!! Great site though

@marcusp619 type "colour dark" ;)
Thanks!
