We've added Ghostty to the terminals section of Terminal Trove for comparison. https://terminaltrove.com/terminals/ghostty/ You can find all terminals for comparison below and also the list of terminals (including Ghostty) https://terminaltrove.com/compare/terminals/ https://terminaltrove.com/terminals/
Ghostty got a lot of hype (I cover this in my reflection below), but I want to make sure I call out that there is a good group of EXCELLENT terminals out there, and I'm not claiming Ghostty is strictly better than any of them. Ghostty has different design goals and tradeoffs and if it's right for you great, but if not, you have so many good choices. Shout out to Kitty, WezTerm, Foot in particular. iTerm2 gets some ha…
super cool! kitty has been my default for a few years now— highly superficial, but my designer side landed on kitty as it was one of the few that supports ligatures by default, specifically for the fira code font for my bias. does ghostty support ligatures?

Edit: I just saw https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42519739, which means you already covered the point, but I'll leave this up pour encourager les autres.

Config being a programming language has insane advantages. Not only can I error check my config in vim or Visual Code, I can do insane things with logic that just don't work in other config file approaches. My laptop is connected to a 32" 4k monitor at work, standalone while traveling, and to a 27" 2k at home. WezTerm "knows" that, and sets things such as font size and line height automagically. Even more, I can have…
It's great that you (and many others) find it useful, but I genuinely have no idea what this is about. I switch my iTerm from my 13" MBP, 32" monitor, and iPad all the time, and I don't need any config to make it work. Maybe I just don't care enough about this stuff but I don't see what I would even configure this way. Anyway, this is the reason I love the new wave of terminals, they bring new stuff on the table and…
I might give this a shot but using GTK4 makes me think this won’t live up to the “native” claim on Linux. It will likely feel out of place on non-GTK DEs with KDE being the big one. And yes, I did read the about page disclaimer about Linux but strongly disagree about calling GTK4 the closest thing. That’s a very GNOME-centric view (e.g., ignores the rest of the Linux ecosystem) and makes me worry that any issues on o…

Just downloaded it because of the animation on the site. How did you make that? it's cute. The terminal is good. I don't have any issues with the stock mac os terminal app but I'll give yours a go for a bit. I can't tell exactly how, but it does feel faster - I'm not sure exactly how it is but it looks like it renders text faster.
Stock Terminal.app doesn’t do 256 or 24-bit colour, that’s really the big thing that drew me to ghostty.

We've got native tabs and splits on both macOS and Linux. :) WezTerm has tabs but they're not native UI elements.
Right, I was admittedly too lazy to dig far enough with wezterm it appears. Was looking for the button to click I guess.

> You're happy to not use it. I'm happy whether you use it or not. I think you misunderstood the OP. The criticism was about the landing page, not the project. And fwiw , it's not unwarranted. Putting the words "terminal emulator" somewhere on the page would make less people bounce off. You may be fine with them bouncing off, but still, I think it was meant as constructive criticism.
> I hate things in "if you know then you know" category. This is one of them. A little too constructive I guess.

No. The rule is about protecting a culture. Having a brief description on the front page is an eminently reasonable suggestion. Mitchell's response was a shallow dismissal of the person (calls out "you" five times in six sentences) and was against site guidelines.
Which culture would that be? Starting off a post with “I hate things… this is one of them”? I think the discussion here would be different if the tone was more moderated. Seems like you’re dying on a hill for the right to be abrasive without consequence.
