I love the idea, but there are a few UX issues which area rather annoying. One such issue is that the <input /> loses focus rather easily, like with as hitting the TAB key. The other thing which I find suboptimal is that the input does not get focus when I click on the "terminal". If I use the shell, I expect to be able to type whenever the pane receives focus.

Another non-technical thing is that as a non-tech user I would be lost, since there's no indication of what to do on the page, a little hint in form of a MOTD would be a nice touch to round it up.

thanks for the suggestions! Yes, the input not focusing is very annoying and other people have also pointed it out in this thread. Will definitely fix that. Also agree about the second point, will probably display help first on load.
and also: good job! :) (just to round up the critique :D)
