When I was younger I used to think that my profile website would be a really cool, fully featured website, with shiny colors and animations; built ...

First thing I tried was
vim .
Then I tried
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y vim
.Therefore, I am requesting these features so I can do remote development on your website 😅
well, it is possible to use the cloud9 editor with vim bindings 🤔
ace.c9.io/build/kitchen-sink.html
sudo emerge vim
🤣
Nice!
😅
Now it supports glob patterns (without flags) 💪🏼

Hey, nice looking terminal. I did something similar recently, and happened to notice on your terminal the backspace doesn't work if you've gone beyond one line. I accomplished that with using a span tag for the line text, with the blinking cursor concatenated on the end. The actual input being hidden.
You can check out the version I built at: reshell.org/dr-reshell
Nice catch!
I fixed it here github.com/protiumx/protiumx.githu...
Also reshell looks really cool!
Thanks!
Awesome idea! My personal website is pretty minimal, but this is definitely taking things to the next level.
Intuitively, my first command was "ls", and it worked. Then I tried "nano" to open the files. When that didn't work I tried "cat" and it worked fine (also pretty intuitive).
Where I had more trouble is trying to open the resume.pdf file, since cat doesn't recognize the pdf format. I then tried "open" just for the sake of it and it gave me a list of arguments, including resume (without the extension), so "open resume" did work. To make it more intuitive perhaps one upgrade could be allowing the opening of files using the extension (.md or .pdf).
Really great project!
That's a good idea actually, I added it, it should be live now
Thank you for your comment!
You could make randc display the images in-line as the w3m browser used to do with X11 xterm in the early 00s. :)
As someone who started using Linux in 1998 and has used a variety of command-line systems before and since, I find your command set interesting. :) If I hadn't known about the help command, it would have been the second thing I tried after repeated attempts at tab completion and maybe
ls /bin
too. (I'm sure even older Unix users would have been slightly disturbed by my use of tab completion. :p ) Buthelp
is a good command. I had to laugh when you declared your command list to be intuitive when the command to list file contents is calledcat
! ;) It certainly is intuitive for people familiar with the Unix command line and I can understand wanting to exclude others for certain purposes, but I lived through the era where everyone was talking about intuitive interfaces and so I had to laugh. :DOn a practical note, I see you mention glob patterns but cat doesn't support them. I used DOS heavily in the 90s and I use PowerShell a bit now, and I can tell you that inconsistencies in how different commands parse their command lines can be really uncomfortable. Unix systems have the shell handle pattern expansion, so it's always consistent. After years of DOS, I found that to be a relief. But why do I want cat to take patterns? I find typing unfamiliar words accurately to be hard, so whenever I'm stuck without tab completion, I use patterns. It's become a habit because sometimes, patterns are quicker.
This might be a bug:
In Firefox,
open blog.md
opens a complicated XML file with no style information. Browser info; (thanks for the handy command):anonymous@protiumx.dev:~$ uname
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:101.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/101.0
Outside the terminal, I'm sorry to say I find the blog pages hard to read. My eyes don't adjust well to low contrast, and when I try to read it anyway, I get unpleasantly dazzled by brighter bits. I had the same problem with DOS in the 90s; it's a good thing I never had to use it for work. In Linux, when I had too little disk space for both Emacs and X Windows, I chose X Windows because it had a configurable xterm. In both DOS and Linux, there were a lot of programs I just didn't use because I couldn't make their displays comfortable. But on the web in recent years, I used to use a contrast enhancer but the only good one of those turned out to include some really nasty spyware. I should look again to see if others have got good.
Thank you for the insightful comment!
My bad, I forgot that the blog.md file is actually “virtual”, parsed from the RSS feed. I will add a fix later.
Tab autocomplete shouldn’t be difficult to implement, I might take a look as well.
Cheers!
tip: - if you are using ad blockers you may not see the terminal text. You may need to open it in incognito.
which add blocker? I didn’t experience the same
Ghostry, Popup blocker, YouTube ad blocker, and Ad Blocker [hand sign logo] these three.
Interesting. I only use
uBlock
. I guess the popup blocker will block the commandrandc
oropen
since it opens a new tab/windowI experienced this differently. I'm using brave both on my phone and laptop. On my laptop everything was working fine, but on mobile I could see my own text input and command output
First of all great work. Looks really nice! What I don't like is your advocating for throwing away npm. While I do get the appeal of simplicity you should not forget the features you get from using a packet manager for third party libraries. One being handling of updates. As it is right now you will have to "know" that there is an update for the library you are using. Any updates (even security related ones) you are in danger of missing and thus maybe allowing malicious actors to attack your site. While I think the actual risk here is minimal I really don't want this not to be mentioned as third party libraries and dependency management are one of the top security issues we face today in applications security.
Nonetheless awesome idea :D
~Cheers
That's is a fair point!
I based my decision on:
I'll surely setup typescript and yarn if the project grows. For now it has been super fun to do it, just vanilla js and html
Nice idea, however non tech people might never even realize they can write
help
to get a list of available commands and might quit without being able to do any interaction.I would add some legend on terminal welcome message.
Also,
open resume
opens a 404 page on protiumx.dev/resume.pdfI actually made it for tech people and recruiters only, since it has mostly data about my work experience or blog posts.
Thanks for the catch! I moved that file and forgot to update the url
Amazing job , and great article!
I'd just like to report a typo:
It say's 'rando' , I believe you meant to put random?
Anyway ,
Cheers and nice portfolio!
Where's the
neofetch
command? 😁Kidding, sorta
This is awesome! It's projects like this that keep the web fun!
That could be fun! I just need to figure out what information would make sense to show haha
To borrow and modify a lyric: "The older I get the more I realise" that it is the simple stuff and not complex ui that makes a portfolio success.
I've been looking to do the same thing for a while! This is awesome stuff. Really love this.
Also, I very much enjoyed how that
exit
command works 😉💃🏻💃🏻
commands not working in mobile browser?
..
Its working only in PC web browser.
Which browser? I only tried on my iphone with chrome.
But also I didn't plan support for mobile yet. Maybe it makes sense to at list rotate the screen 🤔
Android with chrome. You have done it unique. I have not seen anything like this before. Keep up the good work. 👍
Cool concept.
hey I wanna report a serious bug! I ran the command "whoami" but got the output from "whoareyou" instead!!!
Nicely done my friend.
haha that was a dilemma to me. it makes sense to use
whois
butwhoami
is well known for printing information about current the user. in this case I changed the command description to current developerPinned, will try to make one my own
Would love to see the results :D
Nice idea though but not working in my phone 😅😓.
oh damn, which browser?
Chrome.....
That’s really cool
good effort!
Excellent read
This is great inspiration for my own site
Really glad that’s the case!
This is really cool!
thanks! ❤️
Very good execution
oh thanks Ben!
It looks nice!
Tab completion
Really cool! I feel inspired to get one 😬
It's super cool!
For us, developers.
What about people not familiar with CLI? E.g. project managers, HR... You bring hard times to them really quickly :D
Actually this was also intended for them. I truly think recruiters should have a good grasp on the tech side
what happened?
maybe some github pages issue? I can see the site normally
The terminal doesn't work on my android phone.
Cool. Didn't work in Firefox Mobile, though. After typing a command and hitting enter, the command disappeared and nothing happened.
Nice post
While it is really cool, who is it for? Recruiters and hiring managers tend to be not very technical, and even of those who are, they would have to know how to use shell commands.
