#3Such incredible news. I'm absolutely going to use this.

#4I've been keeping an eye on this in the hopes that text-reflow (edit: including for scrollback) could be solved in Neovim-based terminals [1]. I'm loving the innovation Ghostty is bringing to the terminal space.

Do you consider yourself a neovim terminal power user?
I tried a while back to invert my workflow (from tmux driving neovim to neovim driving terminals) because I thought it might be easier to only ever have one buffer open for a given file, instead of attempting to open a file in a given pane only to realize that it's already open in a different neovim instance in a different pane.
When I was testing that stuff out I don't think I noticed particular issues with text reflow that would benefit from being solved by swapping to libghostty, rather my pain points were just about how to adjust to the different paradigm. I'd be curious to hear more about someone who is all in on Neovim embedded terminals (and possibly how libghostty might make it better).

#6I wish they had used something like this in Shopify, instead they decided it was a good idea to embed VScode in the browser in case users want to
make a small modification to theme files, it even has a 5 second boot time.

#7This is super cool, it will be so nice to have a truly omni-platform terminal emulator that can even conceivably extend to iOS and Android.
Aside: I didn't realize Ghostty was written in Zig, wow. The first Zig-thing I'm aware of using on a regular basis. It's amusing the repository structure looks exactly like a Golang layout, haha.

What’s a user-friendly mouse friendly modeless cli text editor you can compile to wasm?

#10I love how this guy founds + takes public + sells a multibillion company and then just goes right back to hacking. Legend.
