LoveTerm OS: Retro-Modern Terminal Experience

LoveTerm OS is a retro-inspired terminal web application that bridges the gap between nostalgic computing aesthetics and contemporary AI-assisted development. Created as an experimental showcase during the "vibe coding" era, this project explores the boundaries of AI-powered development while delivering a unique user experience.

The project draws inspiration from its development platform "Lovable," blending:

Vintage aesthetics: Classic terminal interface with authentic retro styling

Modern functionality: AI-assisted development and contemporary web technologies

Nostalgic experience: Complete with loading sequences and command-line operations

Authentic startup sequence: Mimics classic terminal boot-up with loading animations

Full command-line interface: Complete terminal operation through inline commands

Help system: Built-in "help" command provides a comprehensive command overview

Visual authenticity: Includes distortion effects, horizontal lines, curvature, and VHS-style visual elements
