Would love to get any suggestions for what people would like to see rendered inline in the terminal. Things like graphs, audio/video streams, filesystem view (that supports drag&drop from your local machine), graphviz, pdfs. Maybe a graphical way to view a JIRA or Github issue and add a comment? Visual diff? Let me know what you think?

I wonder if we could render html inline now as you can do images and other others? Same thing for Markdown for example. My dream would be to basically move everything into the console, but I need graphical applications these days for interacting with others at work etc.

I'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 think I ran into this same bug: https://github.com/wavetermdev/waveterm/issues/161 I try to cd and it just leaves me in ~. Using on mac. Looks cool, but obviously pretty limited use when you can't cd. :-)

i'd love to figure out what is causing this as we haven't been able to repro it. if you don't mind adding a comment to the issue with anything novel or interesting in your .bashrc / .bash_profile or your machine setup it would be much appreciated.

> We don’t require an email, login, or payment to use our terminal (it is free as in speech and as in beer). This excites me. I was excited to try a new terminal last week and I had to sign up. I wouldn't do that, so I went back to the default macOS one. I'll give Wave Term a try! It's clear you have put a lot of thought into the product and its delivery after reading your message above -- it is noted and appreciated…

> so I went back to the default macOS one I find iTerm to be the standard among macOS developers.

ya, i love iTerm. been a loyal user for more than 10 years. that is until Wave of course :)

Honest question, why does everyone uses discord for community space nowadays? What happened to product forums that could be easily found in a web search?

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

That sounds really disturbing and immediately turns me off this project (as well as not having the need for a VC-backed terminal).

Or something actually open like matrix! It's really bad that you have to sell your privacy just to get support on a FOSS project.

You can setup a room on any Matrix server of your choice in the same 3 minutes.
