No comment on the app, but the website was not scrolling smoothly on my iPhone 15 Pro.
My iPhone 13 almost overheated…

#12Those of you that enjoy iTerm2, it can do this.

#13This looks like fun, but it's very easy to set up iTerm 2 to do the same thing. Every computer I use (Mac or Linux) is setup to drop down a terminal whenever I hit F12 - full screen, split in half, with 80% opacity just because it looks cool.

#14Back in my Quake days we called it the (Quake) console.
That said, they seem to be tempting fate by using "Quake" in the name and a logo very similar to Q1. Especially risky since they appear intent on selling it.

#15> The Mac notch app you've always waited for
That's just hilarious :D

#16Ha! Pretty neat actually for the novelty. Sadly i don't have an iPhone. I've had a Quake terminal on my setup for now 20 years at first because it was oh so cool but now it's so ingrained in my flow i feel lost without one...
This won't work for iPhones. It requires osx.

Windows terminal used the name quake mode for the similar functionality it offers and there of course the Yakuake that does the same on Linux. Haven't heard of anyone rattling the copyright chain about it yet.

#18Expectation: "Quake terminal" implies playing Quake, possibly in some Asciinema-type way. Maybe just starting the built-in Quake terminal without the game-play. Reality: a regular terminal that starts in the notch and expands to normal window. I guess it's somehow based on the terminal that was in Quake but that was only really used for issuing quake commands, not really for being a posix-compliant, VT-100 compatible…
"Quake terminal" has been a term of art for a regular terminal that drops down from the top of the screen like the terminal in Quake did for the last 20-22 years. I remember this being a thing when I started using Linux back then. https://github.com/Guake/guake https://babbagefiles.xyz/quake-drop-down-terminal-history/ Yakuake, Kuake (2003), etc.
I think the much more common name is the console? I never heard about a Quake “terminal” tbh. It has always been the console to input console command.
