Yay! My favorite new feature is "vibrancy" using the modern OS X API for that. Terminal.app still uses Quartz filters for the blur effect, which while more flexible offers way slower performance whenever there's something animated on the background, like a video playing.

And I was hoping that was referring to this hyper: http://hyper.rs/

Looks really cool but I'd want to better understand how a web technology console application would fare performance and stability wise compared to terminal.app, iTerm 2 and other console applications. Looks cool though and congrats to the team on hitting 1.0.0

I have been using using Hyper kinda since the beginning and eventually switched back to iTerm because it's way faster if you use it all day long.

Maybe they improved performance with this version, I will see.

So let me get this straight. This is a mini-webserver written in Javascript running the terminal as a webapp in a mini-webbrowser, right? This makes sense why?

On the other hand: My favorite iOS SSH/Mosh client seems to be built on top of this and it's awesome.

Performance and stability wise, not quite as well.

However, the ability for quick, easy, and familiar customization and automation for web developers is hard to deny either.

I tried iTerm and then Hyper, and didn't really see how either benefited me over Terminal.app so I stuck with that. But these days I do most of my development work inside Emacs, and the vast majority of my Terminal.app usage has been replaced by either a first-class Emacs plugin (like Magit[0] for git) or Eshell[1] within Emacs.

Windows support is really appreciated! I just switched from a MacBook to a Surface Book, and the biggest pain point has been finding a good terminal to replace iTerm2. I'll definitely try this when I get home!

Erm... What is it?

I've clicked through several pages and still don't know, aside from the fact that apparently it extends the command line in some way.

But I might just be missing something.
