OpenID was failed from the start, and that's ignoring all the problems that happened around the project (e.g. at SXIP). For one, it was too limited in scope: it assumed it would operate only within a traditional browser, that cookies are th

No, it's probably real. They need a website, and someone tells them they can use Drupal and manage it all themselves, after a consultant/developer sets it all up and wraps it in a generic looking theme. The site owner, with no sense of desi

That's what I aim for termkit ls to be. The current ls is a toy meant to show off the potential. As for why? Because it will be optimized for keyboard interaction and rapid context switching.

I don't mind, the project is in too rough a shape to interest anyone but hackers. Please come back in a month.

Thanks for bringing up this great point. I actually built in anonymous usage logging into TermKit using Google Analytics over SSL. It logs the types of commands you execute (no data). It's my plan to release this data back to the community

If I can make TermKit deliver on its promise, then I'm pretty sure on of you vim guys will take a VT100 JS emulator and make it work in TermKit. Again, the architecture supports it.

Well, a few years ago I made this Line Rider video, and then 10,000 people on YouTube told me to get a life. Who cares what people on the internet say, they're the ones wasting their time posting it.

The difference is in whether escaping is necessary. What happens when you no longer need to escape things? It no longer matters which quotes you use.

Added to my todo list. Thanks, didn't know about this one.

I really doubt that would have changed people's reaction. Besides, to be taken seriously, I have to believe that TermKit can eventually be a fully functional replacement. As for being hard to try and not at a useful stage yet... hey, that's

People keep saying that, and then fail to tell me any solid reason why I'm wrong.

You already trust the accuracy of your visualizers: your eyes. Is it space or a delimiter? Is that a quote or a backtick?

I hear what you're saying, but respectfully I disagree. To me, it's like suggesting that the iPhone would be better if you added a physical slide out keyboard to make it more old-school; sure, you could do that, and would probably score pop

Regarding your quote problem: the idea is that the highlighted token signifies "quoted string". I plan to add regexp tokens, user@host tokens, etc. each with appropriate autocomplete. I thought the current minimalistic approach was ok, but

Interesting. I stayed away from powershell because it does the opposite of what I want to do: it makes the shell more like a programming language, and it still limits the output to text. Thanks for the tip.

I'm having a blast and interpreting all the flak as a sign I must be doing something right...

I'm not sure what you mean. If you like, you can describe your idea in more detail and open an issue on github: https://github.com/unconed/TermKit/issues

Shouldn't need to build it, there is a zipped .app included. You do have to build node.js though.

I think my point is that we've all been so locked into these tools that we've become blind as to where their failing are. I wanted to start TermKit from a fresh slate and only slowly add bits of existing Unix to it, so I could make sure the

Note: the goal is to be able to run TermKit transparently over SSH. Maybe even do an "apt-get install termkit-backend" for you if you wish.

Consider these bugs to be fixed, not irreparable complaints ;).

And on another note... it's been hilarious how people have been questioning my professional credentials just because I want to make something more usable. I've implemented over a dozen RFCs, can match regexps with the best of them and do kn

To address some of your concerns: - Monospace fonts for code is definitely in. Try catting a .js file, it will get syntax highlighted. Most likely, it doesn't recognize the mime type of your file. It's using the old mime.types DB + some cus

Recreating logos with poor substitute fonts = ew.

by unconed 16y ago
The problem with the fonts is more than just aesthetics. It's about gamma correction. For various reasons, the brightness of an RGB color value is not linear. This means that a checkerboard of white/black pixels will not look the same from

It's simple and obvious, but few people actually do it: read the CSS spec. Learn the rules for specificity, for vertical margin collapsing, for positioning and stacking, for forward-compatibility. I know way too many front-end devs/designer

Mnemonic methods where you remember elaborate stories using your own language are actually kind of a bad idea, though the intent is good. The idea is that you remember a concept better when there are plenty of connections with other things
