Terminalcast.com is up and running
I released a project that I have been working on in my free time today. Since thanksgiving last year I have been playing with terminal emulators and javascript. I wanted a better screencast tool.
I realized that if I captured the exact output of programs that was going to my terminal emulator, I could reanimate that in another terminal emulator. The difference is, I wrote a terminal emulator in javascript so that it all is done on the web.
Terminal emulators are incredibly complex pieces of software. After looking at a couple of them, I settled on rxvt. Line for line I rewrote rxvt in javascript. It works (kinda).
I’m proud of it. I hope that people find it useful
