#!/bin/bash

killall "Google Chrome"

rm $HOME/nutty.py

No windows with any browser, will you be adding support for that? I use chrome on windows, I would assume a good portion of the potential users of this project would be also. Cool project though, and at least a sharee can use it on windows.

Sharee can use it on windows, yes. I will be integrating ssh client into nutty which can then be used even on windows by a sharer. I had written a chrome packaged app (https://github.com/krishnasrinivas/termishare) which was sharable ssh-client. Will soon integrate it with nutty. Thanks.

Thanks. I will try this out, if it works then "Intro to the Linux Shell" lab just became a lot easier, more effective.

If it does not work I am here to fix it :-) Let me know.

TBH "if it works" is more dependent upon whether I can manage to make a set of clear instructions that students can follow, and students aren't disruptive. Is there any reason that this wouldn't work with multiple connections?

By multiple connections do you mean multiple "sharee"s? Nutty works fine with multiple sharees too.

Awesome, that's exactly what I was hoping.

broke my back button :/

Nutty is written in angularjs ... i do routing internally on the client side, so it is supposed to intelligently change the route (address URL) depending on whether extension is installed or not. Did it do something unexpected?

Clicking the back button keeps refreshing the page for me.

If possible please come to #nutty on irc.freenode.net

Ditto. Looks like https://nutty.io/ redirects to https://nutty.io/info/, so going back from there takes you to https://nutty.io/... which then redirects you to /info

Right. home page is of no use if extension is not installed. So it redirects to /info. Once you install extension and nutty scripts you can visit home page to start/share terminal. This behavior is intentional.

I expect to press the back button and land on the previous page, namely, this comments thread.

got it. Let me see how I can fix that.

Google search does this too. Broken redirects and HTML5 history breaking Chrome's back button is becoming normal for me.

cool stuff.
