Description

Hello! I am the author of cdk-web. I was wondering if adding a REPL-like feature to the workshop would be beneficial and wanted to gauge your interest.

If there's enough interest, I'll implement and open up a PR.

Proposed Solution

Using cdk-web to implement a REPL-like feature like the one here: https://3p3r.github.io/cdk-web/

CDK CLI Version

This is a great idea. :-) My +1

[3p3r]

I just updated the playground: https://3p3r.github.io/cdk-web/
This is very close to what a REPL would look like.

performance is OK-ish. my iPhone and my desktop can take it but I have a VM setup for work and it struggles in that.
there is also possibility of putting cdk web in a web worker to keep the page responsive.

Something like this would be super cool if implemented well. If you're still interested in implementing this @3p3r, I'd love to see what you come up with

[3p3r]

my offer is still on the table!

I am thinking, to create a shell like experience, we need to mix in XtermJS and something like Cash to provide basic commands like cd and grep and stuff like that.

I've already made this bridge: https://github.com/3p3r/cash-money

then it's just a matter of how do we style it for the website.

if I can sit down with maintainers of the workshop maybe for half an hour I think we can come up with something exciting.

Wonderful to hear @3p3r !

I'll coordinate with the team once the work week begins and then reach out to you

@3p3r if you're interested in doing this as a community project, that'd be super awesome, but I don't think it'll fit well in the CDK Workshop.
