Good. Maybe they'll add search to the terminal now. /s
A little unfair that this is downvoted. No search is like a dealbreaker for me. I'm happy with iTerm and for 99% of my use cases I don't need a "very fast" terminal. Thanks for pointing this out. Seems I will wait a little longer before search is in the regular build (and not nightly ones)
This is great work and good news, however if you want to guarantee a long-term public benefit, use copyleft without a CLA! A more well-funded company can fork this and make the new work proprietary, meaning you did all that initial development work for them for free. Apple and Microsoft are the two most likely parties to do so here. This isn't a theoretical risk.
Does anyone have good examples of this actually happening for end user software (like Ghostty is) and where in the long term proprietary fork won? Most of the recent variations of this that come to my mind are related to cloud infrastructure. Stuff where you have serious business customers. And in some of those cases GPL wasn't enough to prevent it. Niche end user utilities, where original is available for free have…
VSCode is a proprietary fork of code-oss, the product located at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode. It might not be an example that you're looking for though.
I wasn't aware of Hack Club before and wow, their fiscal sponsorship program is enormous: https://hackclub.com/fiscal-sponsorship/directory/ - looks like they cover more than 2,500 organizations! The Python Software Foundation acts as a fiscal sponsor for a much smaller set of orgs (20 listed on https://www.python.org/psf/fiscal-sponsorees/ ) and it keeps our accounting team pretty busy just looking after those. Hack…
It might have improved since then?
Is there a compelling reason to use ghostty on Linux, over say, gnome-terminal or foot?
Or WezTerm which is much more usable and polished than this. I don't think there are any. It is likely just a social media hype.

Seconding this. I pivoted to tech in my early 30s and feel I've missed out on a lot of community building opportunities.
Recurse Center might be a good option https://www.recurse.com

Hack Club builds software, so the students naturally built a banking product to scale their fiscal sponsorship: https://hackclub.com/fiscal-sponsorship/ I was working with Hack Club students on an experimental VPN client ( https://github.com/hackclub/burrow ) but never got the momentum to finish it. Made some great friends, though! It's a really fantastic organization. The students have one big global Slack instance.…
