All commands (so far):

clear    (/bin/clear   ) : clears the screen
startx   (/bin/startx  ) : Launches the X11 desktop env.
echo     (/bin/echo    ) : prints its input.
cat      (/bin/cat     ) : writes the contents of a file to tty0
pwd      (/bin/pwd     ) : prints the current working directory
cd       (/bin/cd      ) : changes the current working directory

Hey baritone

do not bump without a reason
its really annoying for an old thread I could care less about come all the way back to the top of the main page.
it's not really a rule, but it is discouraged

I think the next step would be touch support
I’ll make a prototype

32

no just the ability to use it on an iPad or phone

34

I don’t even know what that is
also I’ll send you a link when i make the prototype
