Q: Is this good for web designers with zero coding skills?

As a web designer, my challenge has always been CSS & JS as I have no coding background:

1. Can Interactive Shell help me create a CSS code to (example) Lazy Load an entire webpage or Lazy Load selected items on my webpage such as an image or group of texts?

2. Can it help me fix my JS embeds like to resize or align the items?

3. I assume all instructions will be given via an AI prompt?

4. If there is a problem with a code, can I just prompt the AI to "fix it"?

5. Moving forward, can I use Interactive Shell to learn (or teach) basic coding?

6. What are the storage limits for? Aren't codes just texts that have very very minimal storage usage?

Thank you! :)

A: 1. Yes, In the Interactive Shell > IDE Drive > Create a file with .html extension. It will open a codepen like Editor and there you can practice HTML/CSS. Codes will be executed on the fly!
2-5. We suggest you create a free account and try yourself.
6. Code are small but people may need input files which can be large. You can run codes with input files in the Terminal. That's the beauty of the Interactive Shell.

Q: Can I run an API test and have it continue running to force testing until I scale to a client level?

I would like to know if I can do an API test that runs on Ubuntu and if I can do these tests until I scale the application for customer monetization.

A: Yes, in short but please read the fine points: Interactive Shell is not a VPS provider. It's just an outlet of a docker container made on-the-fly nothing permanent. Our clients use the terminal for testing, debugging and learning. Networking to github.com is possible but Internet access is kept limited to avoid abuses.

Q: Github

Hi

Can I run full nextjs applications in your shell using pnpm and connect it to vscode using ssh?

A: Yes, it is possible after the next upgrade but Interactive Shell terminal won't facilitate hosting your website, you will need to download your project and host elsewhere.

Q: Concern Interactive Shell

I would like to know if it’s possible to include the following images and tools to enable automated testing:

Tools:
- Nvim
- tmux
- lazyvim
- zsh
- fish

Images:
- Selenium
docker pull selenium/standalone-chrome
docker pull selenium/standalone-firefox
docker pull selenium/standalone-chrome-debug
docker pull selenium/standalone-firefox-debug

- Playwright
docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/playwright

- Cypress
docker pull cypress/included:12.0.0

I have also submitted these through the "Request a software for terminal" form. Could you let me know if it’s possible to include them and an estimated timeframe for when they might be available for testing?

I look forward to your response. Thank you very much!

A: We will add your requested tools, but for the additional images we will add into our roadmap. We are busy with the next major UIX upgrade at the moment.

Q: This looks amazing, but why the sloppy use of language?

On the surface, this looks like a winner, but the obvious sloppiness makes me wonder if you're sloppy about other things.

I found "Interactie Shell" (missing a "v") on your web site, as well as in multiple places (including the video shown on AppSumo) a failure to understand how the word "code" works in English (when used to refer to computer programs written in a computer language, it's an abstract noun that cannot be pluralized).

If you're sloppy in your web site & marketing, why should we not assume you're sloppy in the creation of your product?
