Features on the Terminal page ¶

This page lists what the hidden terminal can do. For the live list, type help in the terminal, or help --verbose for usage hints. Not everything worth finding is listed here.

Page experience ¶

• Matrix rain on load, fading into a boot sequence you can skip or sit with
• Fake Linux boot before the MOTD
• Random glitch: output briefly corrupts every 20-60 seconds
• Konami code (↑↑↓↓←→←→BA) triggers full-screen matrix rain
• Green “matrix” styling scoped to the console card; the rest of the page keeps normal site typography
• Wider prose column (min(56rem, 92vw)) so long output (for example help --verbose) is easier to read
• Scrollable output with a fixed input row; the prompt stays visible while you scroll
• Opening banner tries the Worker motd command first, then falls back to a static welcome if the API is unreachable
• Responses longer than ~600 characters, or the help command, print instantly instead of character-by-character typing
• Network and HTTP errors show a clear message in the terminal
• Command history on Up / Down (stored in sessionStorage for the tab session)
• Tab autocomplete for command names
• Accessibility: label for the command field, autocomplete="off", and aria-live on the output log
