Awesome! Great work!

How long does that take? I assume it is rather quick, right?

Heh, oh, cool. I wonder however, if we want to keep those. While it might help
newcomers who to see how to fix common problems, we do not want to scare away
new contributors with stuff that ususally doesnt happen. ;)

Could you upload that as-is at http://playterm.org/ so we have a starting point
there (and to see if the file is too large for playterm)? That would be great.

And yes, having a recording of a simple, straightforward build would be even
better in the long run, so once this thing is uploaded, it would be cool if you
would have another streamlined try. But lets start with what you have first ;)

Best,
