Show HN: My portfolio as a working terminal (vanilla JavaScript, one HTML file) (dzienko.dev)

3 points by Brosper ↗ HN
Built my personal site as a browser terminal. No frameworks, no build step — just one HTML file with ~1000 lines of vanilla JS.

Has a virtual filesystem you can navigate (ls, cd projects, cat cv.pdf), easter eggs, a tour command for non-technical visitors, and tracks what commands people actually type via Umami.

The interesting part: looking at real usage data to see what commands people try has been more fun than building it. Turns out recruiters type full frustrated sentences when lost.

Looking nice! Do you plan to support features like tab autocomplete?

Good idea. What's the trickiest part to implement in the virtual FS with just vanilla JS?

It would be nice if dark mode or light mode is applied based on browser setting. On my environment, it's hard to see dark terminal
