The effects during typing are a little distracting.
Do you plan to allow the usual string navigation shortcuts that my hands are apparently unable to type without? (^-a ^-e ^-k, etc.) ?
- travisl12 9y agoI really like the particles.
- cyberferret 9y agoYeah, 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.
- acobster 9y agoAgree. 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.
- borski 9y agoThat's actually from an atom plugin called Activate Power Mode: https://atom.io/packages/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

- microcolonel 9y agoThere is a Real Terminal Emulator™ with some effects close to this (including, I believe, a nyancat cursor) called Terminology (from the Enlightenment folks).
- navyad 9y agoI too feeel they are distracting.
- wolco 9y agoThe cursor effects with the exploding after each letter typed makes the site cool and not really usable.
