Sorry about that. I believe Electron is the best cross-platform UI framework. And TypeScript is an amazing language.

It works differently: we just create a new shell session for each command. We create a non-interactive session without reading config files to make it fast and pass it appropriate …

As of history and failed commands, it should work as you describe, it must be a bug. https://imgur.com/a/BKz5O

This is a great piece of feedback, thank you so much! We do utilize a login shell for executing commands, but we only support Bash and ZSH. So, it's a real Bash. However, there are…

Thanks for the feedback! It's true that we're far from where we want to be, but we're steadily - event if slowly - moving into that direction. Also, we recently integrated monaco-e…

Actually using both apps.

In my opinion, Qt and wxWidgets apps look ugly. At least I never saw one that looks beautiful.

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. Although, it seems to only show a single best match, unlike IntelliSense.

It's a known bug, please vote to fix it faster. Variables interpolation doesn't work in built-in commands at the moment. https://github.com/railsware/upterm/issues/597

It's theoretically possible to have all the Upterm niceties over SSH, but not possible at the moment. As of screen and tmux, we have no plans to integrate with them.

Yes there is a gitter channel: https://gitter.im/upterm/Lobby

We kind of experimented with parsing man files, but it'll never be as good as manually crafted suggestions: you can do stuff like suggest changed files for "git add", tokens from d…

I wish the same autocompletion could be achieved in ZSH. Then I wouldn't start this project at all. The problem with ZSH is that you have to * Make a decision you want completion. …

It's your choice, of course, but in my opinion Electron is the only decent cross-platform UI framework. Without Electron there would be no Linux version.

Surprisingly it has pretty moderate resource usage. I have both iTerm and Upterm running on my laptop, here are the stats. Of course, your mileage may vary. https://imgur.com/a/bwD…

Performance is definitely worse than in iTerm or gnome-terminal, but it's improved a lot in recent Upterm versions, and we plan to improve it further. I'd say it's good enough, but…

Hyper is a pure terminal emulator; it only displays what your shell tells it to display. We aim to deeply integrate with a shell or even replace it for better experience. One of th…

I'm afraid it's not going to happen any time soon, if at all. But even if it does happen, it won't be cmd.exe or PowerShell support, but rather some kind of POSIX shell for Windows…

Hi, author of Upterm here. Ask me anything.

That should be fixed now.

What problems will I face if they don't communicate over a TTY?

Ha-ha, I get that a lot after telling about React and Electron. Initially I was thinking about Swift + Cocoa, but I figured CSS would give me more flexibility in designing the UI, …

Hey. Not snooty at all. I understand your pain: once I tried to open Vim in this Kickstarter terminal project - Xiki - and was disappointed in the same way. Perhaps unexpectedly, B…

I should thank you for the post. It reassured me I'm doing something people are interested in.

Thank you for your kind words. Spawning a shell shouldn't be a performance bottleneck as long as you create a new tab or pane, and not a new application instance. By the way there …
