Love this. Though I was cautious initially - just the OSS route with "true" free was very welcome. Out of curiosity - I was surprised there was no mention of Warp.dev here (which seemed to be making waves with all that funding. Pun unintended). Again no need to mention them as this is about you but just curious given all their (and other modern terminal apps) touting their own modernity.

You can set up a Discord server for free in under 3 minutes. 10 if you want to install all the fancy moderation bots and change the icons and add custom emojis. There's nothing comparable for forums. FB tried but it's a cesspool of "user engagement", managing groups is a full time job and still doesn't work properly. Oh, and Discord _has_ a forum-like feature inside it :D
You can setup a room on any Matrix server of your choice in the same 3 minutes.
The UX in Matrix is really crappy. I say this as someone who has been on IRC since the late 90's. I can deal with jank. I was in the IRC wars. I've seen server splits used to take over channels by Polish IRC warriors.
Matrix is its own brand of confusing because it's trying SO hard not to be a Discord clone. If you properly want to own your Matrix channels, you need to run your own server and that's not a 3 minute thing to do.

Yea, searchability on the internet went to crap ages ago.
Content is either in silos like FB or Discord or in videos on Youtube. None of which is properly searchable from an external search engine by content.

It absolutely should not be running commands on a remote host without prompting first!
agree in principle, but i will split some hairs here. if you type "ls" into your local terminal, there's an implicit agreement that it will run the remote "ls" program. the helper program facilitates that in the same way that any other terminal + ssh + shell combo does. it only runs commands in response to your activities in the terminal.
so youve been linux user for 25 years but dont see a problem here huh?

#75Why are there no native apps anymore today? Why does everyone ride the Electron bloatware?

i don't see any difference between this and what saltstack or ansible are doing. both can run a command on remote machines, and to do that they automatically connect to the machine and copy a program to be run there.
The biggest difference is that I install and execute salt and ansible in order to remotely install software, and I had no expectation that establishing an SSH connection would do that.

#77I'm in the same boat as many -- not particularly excited by the idea of a new terminal, but curious enough to take a look and (unusually) a smidge interested after seeing the website. Well done, you've got further with me than most "reinvent the terminal" projects :). Issue 88 is a blocker, though, I'm afraid. I may be monolingual, but I still need to be able to use "international" characters. In the interests of bei…
zsh support and international character support are our top two issues right now. I know the intl chars can work, we just didn't do enough international testing before launch. sorry to hear that it didn't work out of the box for you (the big profile files are also on our radar).
I'm not sure "international" is the right characterisation (sorry, not sorry). "Non-ASCII", perhaps? Or explicitly list which codepages you do support?
It's not like there are no people in the US who use characters with accents. Or, indeed, that everyone reading your comment considers themselves to be "international".

It’s insane to me that anyone would use a terminal that is Electron. A terminal should be really light weight and not use up many resources.

you install it locally, but not remote. then you run commands that get executed remotely by way of some tools that get automatically copied to the remote machine via ssh.

> the frontend can drop frames, while the Go backend is buffering the stream Surely that's not great. Dropped frames are terrible for following what's happening on the screen and even worse for scrolling.
mosh is also dropping frames if it needs to. only happens when the network speed can't keep up with the data being sent through
Yeah exactly. That's meant to make a laggy remote session feel a little less stuttery, which in many cases improves the experience.
It's not the same as doing that between 2 local layers.
