This is definitely a trademark violation: http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4803:prh... A rename is in order.
This doesn't appear to be a commercial product, so there could be no trademark violation.

A very similar name for a product sitting in the same space (terminal emulator). That's generally an unwise decision as it can create confusion for both projects, and the one with the trademark (especially since this new one's name is a substring of the older project) is in a position to make a valid claim against the new project. If someone created a new project called Steem to deliver video games to end users[, wou…
> if Valve took issue isn't it true that companies have to take issue, otherwise they lose their trademark? I used to be angry when large corporations would sue a little guy or nonprofit over name squabbles, but then I heard that the big company can lose their trademark if they dont.

>Instead I can make a terminal that's significantly more efficient and responsive ...and that runs on exactly one OS, and doesn't support the 250k+ Node modules, and that doesn't support standardized plugins, and that can't open web pages locally... JavaScript hate is so 2010.
Ooh, 250,000+ modules with an average of less than one active user, little to no documentation or tests, and which may or may not be trivial one-liners. Above all, any given module has at least one other module that provides that same functionality. Meanwhile, plenty of other languages run on many operating systems, have standardized library behaviour, and can trivially ask the operating system to open a file:// uri.
My first reaction is: "This could be the VS Code of terminals". For those stuck on Windows, where the choice in terminals is pretty bad AND more and more Windows dev is done from the command line (hello 'dotnet'), this could be very welcome.
Microsoft announced support for Linux/Unix tools in Windows 10 awhile back. You can get bash if you want. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/about
conhost.exe is a shame and it's kind of indicative how much joy it was just to get some basics (like QuickEdit by default, etc).
There was another project that's extremely similar to this posted a week or so ago, and it got a lot of flak for existing; I don't think very many commenters agreed with its existence (except, perhaps, as an educational exercise for the programmer). That project was posted here: http://rungoterminal.com/ This, however, is executed and presented much better than that other project, and catered towards the correct crow…
imgcat[1] is one of my favorite terminal innovations as of late. I thought I'd take a long shot and see if it worked since that functionality seems like it would be simple for a browser-engine-based terminal to handle, but sadly no-go. I smell pull request.

Gate One (web-based terminal) has had this functionality for years: https://github.com/liftoff/GateOne/ Just 'cat someimage.jpeg' or 'cat someimage.png' and it'll display it right there in the terminal. Works great if I do say so myself (I wrote it =).
