I tried `ls` - not there. Obviously all the products available should be files, it's unix :)

Better workflow:

  ls stickers/ | grep ubuntu | xargs add-to-cart
  checkout

I won't consider this an actual thing until you can telnet or ssh in.

Well, it won't be long till no one actually admins a Unix system through ssh anymore, they just connect to their cloud instances via a Web console using their Macs. (Linux? On the desktop? Like ew, man.) So I guess my greys are totally showing here.

From the title I thought I'd be able to telnet or ssh in. This is cool, but it's basically just a really awkward web page. I don't wish to denigrate the effort though. Surely some unixy commands wouldn't go amiss? At least 'ls'?

Hrm. For some reason I suddenly want some swag...

    Ye this was a WE project that just looked so cool, and some of the libraries needed were already out there. Opensourcing & moving everything to telnet/ssh is probably the next step. For now it was just fun :P

      That would be amazing! There's a real dearth of terminal-based amusement on the internet these days - last cool thing I remember was that telnet server that would play the first third of Star Wars in ASCII art. Being able to buy Unix swag entirely over SSH would definitely take the crown.

      Good stuff though :) I see similar initial reactions to mine elsewhere in the thread, but let's not make the perfect the enemy of the good, eh?

I'd only expect an ultra minimalist design from a unix shop, but showing nothing at all is a little over the top.

    The site was probably down, too many requests, now we scaled the server and it's kind of coping...

how does `ls` not work?! and wtf is the `catalog` binary anyway? :)

How much should I trust the security of a business that gives root access to `guest`?

Am I the only one getting a blank page?
