Really fun! I have been experimenting with similar idea myself. I was curious on how you handle instantiating the terminal state for new clients. Seems like you're storing a buffer [0] of past output, and replaying that? [0] https:&#x

It's similar to running netcat in server mode, wrapping a script. It's even closer to doing that using websocat [1], whereby one does not have to do the websocket header juggling. The main difference is that while netcat or websoc

I've been developing a websocket server that lets multiple users connect to the same command-line app. I wrote a short example [1] that exposes a TUI game on the web. In theory, hot-seat terminal games should be playable over the web w

Shameless plug for Doctave [0], which offers a solid way to combine markdown and OpenAPI specs into a documentation site. It's a hosted SaaS, so it's technically not a static-site generator, but it's an alternative to the abo

Combining Swagger (OpenAPI) with Markdown prose was what prompted us to build Doctave [0]. Jekyll does a good job, but breaks down once you need more bells and whistles, such as search and versioning. It's early, but worth checking out

Now this is the "headphones for my eyes" I have been waiting for. I wonder if combining an ebook with a contextual audio track (does this exist?), would work as well as combining an audiobook with visuals (a movie).
