Like we did for https://simplex.chat ;)

Bonus: installable via brew.

Need a square Root logo with white background and black lines. Size doesn't matter - say 400 x 400.

When switching to root via su, root still doesn't have permission to move around files, delete them, etc. Why???

Need:

• open keyboard on launch
• when keyboard opens, scroll down all the way
• showing some gray screens in bottom left and right on iOS Chrome
• Swiping out of iOS Chrome and back in, the scroll is messed up.
• Close keyboard should equal 'Enter'

Can we add a command for providing the address for root ventures?
maybe
locate rootvc
Or
find rootvc

Should be straightforward.

"My phone is ancient, so maybe that's it. My phone is a Samsung S7, hardware version REV0.6. The Android version is 8.0.0. My browser is Chrome version 91.0.4472.114. If it helps, the link does work when I rotate the screen."

Track commands (in GA?)

root:rootpc ~ $ ls /home/lee
id_rsa   README.md

root:rootpc ~ $ head /home/lee/README.md
No such file: /home/lee/README.md

root:rootpc ~ $ cat /home/lee/README.md
No such file: /home/lee/README.md
 

suggest that a partner's README should maybe be the same as whois $partner. it's a dirty hack around how ls isn't actually responsive to its arguments.

Some companies have CLI tools, would be fun to feature those somehow.

• okteto
• meroxa
• alan
• zed
• great expectations

• Need a max line length for wrapping
• And lines must be counted with formatting strings removed

Maybe color prompts and help topics or something

https://root.vc#tldr%20alan should load the terminal with the tldr alan command executed

Need a company logo for each company that's:

• 2:1 width:height aspect ratio, ideally say 1000x500
• PNG format.
• Background should be white.
• In /images directory named e.g. esper.png
• some small margin - smaller than we have now - maybe half or 3/4 smaller

Need some partner photos.

• transparent background
• in images/
• named firstname.png

Investigate a png2ascii solution to list company logos

this is awesome. cat id_rsa

I'm an Australian founder and I find your VC name hilarious. Please integrate a suitable easter egg into your environment.

Cool website. Will be in touch again soon!

Need to add:
Quilter https://www.quilter.ai/
AllSpice https://www.allspice.io/

groups should be groups of portfolio companies, not partner metadata
Partner metadata can go into finger

If you start typing while the page is still loading, the cursor seems to get messed up. Maybe disable input until page is fully loaded.

https://root.vc#whois-lee should be a terminal with that command executed.

Google web crawler generates /team and /home linlks (maybe a cache?) on the search page, but they are dead - can we reroute unused paths to the root domain?

On window resize, can we redraw the terminal object so length/height are reset?

This might require a quick refactor, where we draw all ascii art in hidden divs on page load so that it can be injected synchronously into the terminal. Would also clean up a lot of this bad async code.

Let's replace https://meet.root.vc with video in the CLI

Nice to have: up and down arrows for terminal command history

From a mac, running Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71), using Safari (Version 17.2.1 (19617.1.17.11.12)), the webpage didn't resolve to show the terminal's text field. It loaded correctly on other browsers (in my case, Arc).

Congrats on the new fund!

Wonder if we can insert some meta tags to help Google index our crazy, stupid website.

Give focus to term after page load.

Need a way to find out about Root, and have some quick overview of who we are. Maybe: whois root?

• ps
• less
• ... find a list somewhere
• ls with other params

Each company needs:

• Logo (different ticket)
• website url
• one sentence description
• link to deal memo if we have it (so far only 1)

Would be a fun command to "upgrade" or "update".

Support:

• Ctrl+A
• Ctrl+E
• <- and ->

pee pee poo

Given that we can inspect the current terminal columns, it shouldn't be so hard to wrap text in whole words based on that.

Currently there's no storage or backend API at all.

but some kind of demand aggregation for later updates... maybe

e.g.:

guest:rootpc ~ $ signup [email protected]
thanks! we'll let you know when we invest in new companies, etc.

for a Q&D thing you could redirect to a web form so you don't have to store/forward/etc. any user info in this little standalone webpage.

maybe extra special version of this is letting users express interest in specific companies, or partner's investment styles.

The addition of the event listener before page load causes the resizeListener to fire which results in a user experience of the init and prompt commands re-running (see picture). Running on Chrome.

Simplest, if slightly inelegant solution is to simply wrap it and wait for the page load.

  window.on('load', () => {
    window.addEventListener("resize", term.resizeListener);
  });

• better tldr/whois lists
• Clear
• invert color ascii art?
• alan/ln/anycloud commands
• Android chrome and Firefox don't work!!
• whois with no rags should be in help
• ascii art rickroll?

when i type the egg related command without arguments, it just freezes. chrome on mac
