Gate One Brings Text-mode Surfing To the Web, Quake-Style

Riskable writes "As a follow-up to my previous Slashdot story, Gate One is now out of beta. Packages can be downloaded here. There's also a live demo: press the ESC key on this page to have a terminal running lynx drop into view, Quake-style! I've also posted a video overview and the documentation can be found here. Some pertinent changes since the beta: Added the ability display images inline within terminals, key-based SSH authentication, a WebSockets authentication API (for secure embedding), dramatically improved terminal emulation, an overhauled bookmark manager, support for international keyboard layouts, and a web-based log viewer that lets you export logs to self-contained HTML playback files."

If by "slashvertisement" you mean "submission by a very long term (5 digit UID) slashdot regular about an open source project he created that many slashdotters are interested in", then yes, "Timmy" is getting pretty heavy on those.

Re:Bravo from the ajaxterm author

THANK YOU SIR! It was AjaxTerm that lead me to develop Escape From The Web which was an HTTP streams-based predecessor to Gate One. If it weren't for AjaxTerm's example of how to write such an application I probably would've never gotten around to making Gate One.

So thanks again; Gate One wouldn't have been possible if you never shared your code.
