HTML5 terminal
- mindctrl 15y agoNeat, but not amazing. It barely functions.
- Achshar 15y agoI remember seeing it at some google presentation.
- city41 15y agoThis website itself (that is, go to http://htmlfivewow.com/ http://htmlfivewow.com/) is a (very nice) Google presentation on HTML5. I've learned about a few APIs I didn't know existed.

- ot 15y agoWhat is '3d' supposed to do? It crashes on my browser (Chrome 15)
- patrickod 15y agoI tried 3d and was too confused as to its purpose. I didn't experience a crash however and I'm using the same version of Chrome on OSX
- ale55andro 15y agoI got a crash ( using chrome on windows 7). I did get to see a slow scrolling rectangular 3d cube before the tab crashed. The crash is probably due to the specific video card I have in use. Nice demo still.
- llambda 15y ago3d doesn't seem to do much of anything (Safari 5.1.1, OS X). It doesn't crash but it doesn't seem to do anything aside from changing the height of the terminal and creating a large, blank space above it.
- VoxelBoy 15y agoIt brings up a 3D view of a thin box which you can orbit around using the left mouse button. Works here on Chrome 15 (Mac) but I believe I enabled some WebGL related flags a while ago.
- JBiserkov 15y ago3d shows you a 3d visualization of the file/directory structure (which is empty by default), try mkdir or adding file from your computer with drag'n'drop (in the terminal, not the visualization).
- keys1234 15y agoor try 'init' - loades some random files.
- evlapix 15y agoIt renders a square tile that is rotatable with your mouse.
- llambda 15y agoPretty cool to see HTML5 in action like this. It runs quite well and even though seemingly lacking in some functionality is one of the better terminal emulators I've seen in the browser. It'd be nice to see some additional utilities though, such as curl and lynx would be a nice meta-utility. ;)
- nakkiel 15y agoThere's wget.
- brimpa 15y ago`wget` returns an error with every URL I try.
- simonbrown 15y agoIt's because of cross-origin restrictions. Try http://enable-cors.org/ http://enable-cors.org/ or the site itself. I guess they could use a proxy if they want it to work for every URL.
- DevX101 15y agoThe unix console from jurassic park is finally brought to life! 3d works for me on chrome (Windows 7). It creates a 3 dimensional representation of the file structure.
- DanBC 15y agoWeirdly I mentioned the Jurassic Park interface in another HN thread. (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3225701 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3225701) Link to software and descriptions (http://nooface.net/3dui.shtml http://nooface.net/3dui.shtml)
- wazoox 15y agoIn case you're having an IRIX machine available, here is a page with a working link to the software : http://www.siliconbunny.com/fsn-the-irix-3d-file-system-tool-from-jurassic-park/ http://www.siliconbunny.com/fsn-the-irix-3d-file-system-tool...
- vidarh 15y agoWhat do you mean "finally"? The file manager in Jurassic Park was a (fully working) demo 3d file manager shipped with SGIs. I played with it on my university computers back in '94.
- cmwright 15y agoIt would be great to see TermKit[1] implemented in a demo like this. [1] https://github.com/unconed/TermKit https://github.com/unconed/TermKit
- hvass 15y ago3D didn't crash on me (Chrome 15 latest), but nothing is happening?
- zobzu 15y agoyay for web standards such as HTML5! (it doesnt work in my browser, in fact i guess it just works in chrome)
- melling 15y agoThen install Chrome. HTML5 isn't an official standard yet. If you want to play on the bleeding edge, you're gonna need Chrome. Chrome and Firefox get updated every 6 weeks so things are changing fast. On another note, we need a suite so Opera, Webkit, Chrome, and Firefox can certify against. An Acid test for all the new technology.
- roryokane 15y agoHere is one such test suite: http://html5test.com/ http://html5test.com/
- alexwolfe 15y agoHmmm, you want someone to spend 5 days coding for your browser when you could spend 1 minute to upgrade. Nice.
- jsmcgd 15y agoWorking on Ubuntu 10.04 with Chrome 15. It looks really good!
- vaksel 15y agoseems to only work in chrome...that's why I'm a bit weary of using this new stuff...since chances are that 90% of your users won't be able to get the full experience
- sjs 15y agoIf you don't test and fix things for multiple browsers this is true of any web standard, not just the latest versions of CSS, JS, and HTML.
- SagelyGuru 15y agoInvisible font in Opera - amazing indeed ;)
- jroseattle 15y agoWith each new HTML5 demo of something that comes up, I get the sneaking suspicion that HTML5 adoption is going to be slow. It seems the capabilities of HTML5 and what you can do with it from an application basis are fine and dandy. It's just my observation and very-limited experience, but I've yet to see anything that really knocks it out of the park for me. I'm currently working on a project that relies heavily on client-side javascript and flash (for media delivery). We have spent some time evaluating HTML5 and whether we should "cut the cord" and move to developing for that basis. At this point, we've determined it makes no sense to do so for one simple reason -- it offers us no valued advantage over our current investment. While we hope to see the adoption improve, we're not holding our collective breath.
- icebraining 15y agoHTML5 works on phone and tablet browsers; Flash barely does, and it won't at all in the near future.
- jroseattle 15y agoWe're well aware of the Flash situation with non-desktops. It brings us to a major business decision. Do we begin migration away from Flash (which we despise with a white-hot passion), even though it represents > 90% of our customers environments? Though a few have asked about our tablet strategy, we haven't had any customers (specific vertical market, enterprise space) push the tablet/mobile conversation. If it were purely a technical motivation, we would have abandoned Flash long ago. But, we can't yet make the migration away from Flash without seeing good HTML5 support on our customers' desktops.
- runn1ng 15y agoThe thing is, as I played a bit with HTML5, it doesn't actually work that well on mobile browsers either. It does work reasonably well on iOS, but on Android Browser, Flash does usually work better than HTML5. Which is a bit sad.
- nitrogen 15y agoIt's possible that the HTML5 revolution will come from new developers that never learned Flash (or, who like me, tried it once in high school, but didn't inhale).

- snorkel 15y agoNo joy on FF7 Mac.
- justinrohrer 15y agoDid anyone else you try using sudo and see the results? Make sure to turn the volume nice and loud!
- andrewflnr 15y agoAugh! How do you make it stop?
- grunar 15y agoReading through it I see the code is available on google code: http://code.google.com/p/html5wow http://code.google.com/p/html5wow
- ender7 15y agoOne of my favorite things about the web: I just learned three new CSS tricks from using the web inspector to figure out how he accomplished some things.
- phzbOx 15y agoWhich ones?
- billpatrianakos 15y agoYeah, which ones? I'm actually building a simple browser based text editor (think Writeroom/iaWriter/the other distraction-free editors) but in a browser with full-screen mode if I can figure that out. I'm really interested in how he got the caret customized like a terminal caret or cursor, whatever you want to call it. I'm decently experienced with web programming but I'm e,harassed to say I don't know JavaScript which is a must these days. This little project inspired me and let me know that what I'm thinking of is possible.
- systemtrigger 15y agoTerminal.js is good reading. According to his comments there, Eric plans to add tab suggest and html5 audio fallback. I wonder what the end game for this project is and if a text editor is coming - * crosses fingers for vim*. Edit: The entire deck is impressive. Click the Chrome icon here: http://www.htmlfivewow.com/slide52 http://www.htmlfivewow.com/slide52.
- systemtrigger 15y agoThis is awesome. I dragged an audio file, ran open to play it and a later slide showed the dir, let me adjust playback rate etc. May fork. Project homepage: https://code.google.com/p/html5wow/ https://code.google.com/p/html5wow/ Edit: I am late to the game, just found html5rocks. Wow.
- jscheel 15y agoSeems to be another hidden (in addition to sudo, which is awesome btw) command called "init". Give it a whirl.
- andrewflnr 15y agoThe first thing I tried was `uname`, but it didn't work. I was kind of expecting it to do something clever.
- SuperJ 15y agoType in "sudo". Its funny.
- switz 15y agoHit Control+S to make the terminal look like a CRT+flicker. (Found by looking through the js)
