brechtcs / dterm Goto Github PK

I'm still undecided on this.

In his original spec @pfrazee planned for the creation of RPC system to execute untrusted commands in a sandbox outside the normal application context. On the other hand there's the bash approach of giving programs full access on the environment, leaving it up to the user to decide if a script is to be trusted or not.

Any arguments on either side of this issue very much appreciated!

Not sure where to start, but I'd love to have the open command, similar to that in Finder (macOS) where I can say open . to open the current directory in Finder, but instead it would open a new tab in Beaker.

Thoughts?

It'd be cool if this stuff worked on legacy browsers,

Here's what would need to be done:

• Add in dat-archive-web to get the DatArchive API
• Maybe get the xhr patcher and source rewriter from load-dat-page?
• Use //dfurl.hashbase.io instead of dat://dfurl.hashbase.io for resources

Hopefully I'm not missing anything, but I think that's all that'd need to be done.

Hey, just wanted to check in on dterm's status and see what you would think of possibly bundling dterm in beaker 0.9? There's a browser sidebar that I think this could be really cool for.

In the original specifications for Webterm, Paul proposed the following syntax for command sub-invocations:

# basic usage
> change-case -u (hello-world)
HELLO, WORLD!

# nested invocations
> concat (change-case -u (hello-world)) (change-case -l (hello-world))
HELLO, WORLD! hello, world!

In dterm I decided to prioritise support for iterators, which makes this slightly less straigtforward. It's still on the roadmap though, just have to figure how cases like this are handled in Bash for example.
