Donald Trump has stirred controversy again by selling signed Bibles for $1,000 each at Mar-a-Lago, branding them as "45th President Signature Edition." Critics argue this commodifies a sacred text, aligning faith with transactional politics. Despite backlash, 1,000 copies sold out, raising $1M.

There are some user-friendly shells that do some of these things. There are some clever terminals that have some of these features. But they're still both fighting the typewriter protocol dividing them.

SSH to somewhere could create a distinct section in the output log with a different color theme, in a way that actually works and doesn't interfere with color output from programs.

Command completion could have popups with help/manpage fragments, file browsers/search/recents.

Ctrl-R could be a proper multi-line search popup.
Ctrl-Z could detach interactive programs into their own windows.

There should never be a need to run | more — the terminal should be able to precisely capture and present the output.

Binary output to the terminal should be displayed as a usable file icon, not as a Matrix Screensaver from Temu.

ls should create a file browser.

When a compiler prints warnings and errors, I want them to become a sticky list, which gets updated in place when I re-run the build.

If multiple commands are running and printing, I want each get to its own mini scrollback (like a box with overflow:auto), rather than a cacophony of uncontrolled writes into the shared stdout file descriptor.

I want shell input line to be ready and usable at all times, even when a command is printing.

I want PS1 to be realtime GUI widgets, not text that sometimes gets glued to the last command's output.

I'd like to have a terminal that is like an IDE, not merely a smart typewriter.

Unfortunately, the traditional Unix separation between terminals and shells limits how good the #UX of each of them can be.

The shell can do a lot of clever things, but it doesn't control the UI, except for a single shared text canvas, through archaic unreliable in-band control codes.

The terminal app could implement any GUI imaginable, except it doesn't know what the shell is doing, and can't reliably control it

I can't fight with TypeScript anymore
I've forgotten what I started writing for
There's far too many squiggles to ignore
I think my code is borked
Forever

And I can't fight with TypeScript anymore
I've forgotten what this pull was even for
I wanna throw my laptop out the door
From the 32nd floor
Cuz baby I can't fight with TypeScript anymore

In a Wales-first (and possibly UK-first?) I've created a micro-server for Mastodon to enable local primary school children to explore social media in a safe environment. It's not connected to any other server, so only children and teachers from that school can create an account.

I'll be sharing my experiences in a blog post in due course, in case it's of interest to others. Would love to have another Welsh language primary school interested so we could have multiple schools collaborating!
