Initial Terminal

Welcome to Initial Shell—the Quake-stylish console for webmasters worldwide! Embed it in your site with a single <script> tag and use commands to audit performance, check SEO, gather feedback, and more. It works standalone for custom setups or connects to initial.sh for a broader ecosystem of plugins.

This repository contains the source for the @initial.sh/initial npm package—your MVP console component.

Features

• Quake-style UI: Drops from the top, full width, half height, with green text and a typing effect for responses.
• Core Commands: init, help, clear, exit—essential controls.
• Webmaster Tools:
  • lighthouse: Mock performance and SEO audit with typed-out scores.
  • seo: Mock SEO check with typed-out results.
  • feedback: Collect user input, ending with “done.”
• Typing Effect: Responses appear character-by-character at 30ms intervals.
• Sounds: Audio cues for opening (400 Hz), closing (300 Hz), and errors (200 Hz).
• Standalone or Connected: Runs locally with mocks or links to initial.sh/api for plugins and data.
• Plugins: Includes ping, time, feedback—extendable via a global register function.
