Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m back with a big update to WebTerm, a browser-based terminal for learning the CLI with no setup. This version adds support for `rm -rf /` (safely!), wildcards like `*`, better interactions for beginners, and more real commands and options. If you’re curious about the command line — or just want to try `rm -rf /` without killing your machine — give it a spin😄 Would love your feedback, thoughts, or even bug reports. Thanks for checking it out!
