Demonstration Videos¶
Short screen recordings of 3270Web doing real work against the bundled Pet Store sample application, with captions baked in. Every video is recorded from a live session — nothing is mocked.
3270Web in Under a Minute¶
A tour of the essentials: connect, sign on, work the screens, the command palette, and where the automation lives.
How To: Connect to a Host¶
The first session, end to end — enter a host address, connect, read the operator information area, sign on.
How To: Record and Replay a Workflow¶
Capture a flow once (sign on, jump to the stock catalogue, sign off), save it as a JSON recording, load it back and watch 3270Web replay it against the live host. The same recordings drive guided business tasks and the REST API.
How To: Explore an Application with Chaos¶
Start a chaos run, watch it drive the screens on its own — favouring keys it has not tried yet — open the live map of what it has discovered, stop it, and read the discovery report it leaves behind. See Chaos Mode for everything the run can do afterwards.
How To: Themes and Terminal Fonts¶
Settings → Theme: from the default green phosphor to amber and back, with the bundled 3270 glyph fonts — details in Terminal Fonts.
How To: Keyboard, PF Keys and the Virtual Keypad¶
Function keys mapping to PF keys, the on-screen keypad for touch screens, and the command palette — the full reference is Keyboard and Controls.
How To: Run Several Hosts at Once¶
Each session is a tab: open a second host from the + tab, switch with a click, and every session keeps its place — more in The Session Manager.
How To: Turn a Flow into a Business Task¶
The full life of a guided business task: record a flow, let the wizard name its inputs, check the guard on each step, mark the answer on the final screen, review what the server reads back, then run it from a form — no terminal knowledge needed.
The Bundled Sample Apps¶
What ships in the box: the connect-page picker, the Pet Store retail system, and Snake on a second tab — the full list is in Bundled Sample Applications.
The videos are generated with scripts/record-demo-videos.mjs, which
drives a local 3270Web with Playwright and injects the captions as page
overlays while recording. To refresh them after a UI change:
go run ./cmd/3270Web # in one terminal
node scripts/record-demo-videos.mjs # in another
