Nifty. Similar to our own Typer: http://cosmos.layervault.com/typer-js.html

Nice. I like the design of your page! Is the highlight/retype effect in your demo part of the plugin?

kellysutton2• 14 years ago

Yep. And it's all configurable.

This is pretty neat! But I have to say, my biggest pet peeve is a library or chunk of code that doesn't have a demo on the same page. It would be nice to see that "terminal" on your plugin site.

Thanks for checking it out. You're right, I'll add that demo today.

Very cool, adding to my list of things that I will immediately start trying to use irrespective of actual need or requirement!

Fyi, debug is still on for your chartulo.us site, after watching the animated typing produce a url, that url leads to the django yellow 404 :)

Ah, thanks! I turned it on to find an issue and forgot to turn it back off. Will do that now!

I'd love if this library were more generic (aka - not necessarily behaving like a terminal, let the implementer make that decision).

I went for the 'do one thing simply' interface. I'd be curious what kind of interface you're looking for. Feel free to open an issue on github with some suggestions.

The 'echo' visuals are somewhat odd. Ever since the 90s, I think pretty much any programs' console output has been instant.

Would probably look better if echo was instant with a wait time.
