I've been using Charm tools and libraries for a while now, truly some of the coolest stuff I've ever experienced on the command line.

#32No idea if the tools are any good, but I absolutely love your branding. Opinionated, but perfect for the demographic.
I am the demographic in that I love using the command line and want to see it get modernized.
I thought the design was terrible. Noisy and pointless and frankly hard to see what is on offer.
It’s pretty and stylish but absolutely awful if you care about the content, and that makes me worry that the components themselves will be similar.

It really does. I wonder if these SSH applications can be linked and used like web applications where it's delivered to the end-user over the network with terminal + SSH being used as a browser. The only problem for these applications (and Charmbracelet) would be that there isn't much audience that could use these.
Good point on the small target audience.. It really is a shame because this is a great looking project. I think I should write a web app that handles the SHH connection on the backend and renders the SHH app into HTML so that they can be enjoyed by the masses. =)
If you do this, please mention that using a proper terminal + ssh will work better(This is based on my understanding of technologies used, but I could be wrong), and you may be responsible for a lot of people taking their first steps into knowing computers a lot better!

What is the demographic you think this is perfect for? Just curious who this appeals to. It's not for me but that's OK I like opinionated things and recognised that that this is aimed at someone who probably will love it.
Perhaps it's developers who are looking for some validation from and engagement with their eight year old daughters?

`ssh git.charm.sh` is maybe more your style?

#38This is what I come to HN to see - what a masterful and cool project. I'm literally dropping my plans today to make a project using this.

I am of the same opinion. I closed it although CLI screens look nice, as I couldn't stand the arbitrary attention stealing noises all around.

I really liked their web design.
Side note on web design: uBlock blocked nothing . Usually when a page that looks like this comes up, I notice 10's to 100's of blocked requests. On top of that, I disabled JS out of curiosity, and the site worked completely fine, sans expected failures (the only thing that stopped working was the little videos by the libraries)! I think this is the first site with this level of "Design" (Which I usually hate, but the…
Great observation. I had opened it on my old mobile browser and it loaded super fast too!
