Interesting, which OS are you using? If linux, can you name 1-2 advantages the desktop has over the terminal?

I'm using Hermes but these should apply to any agent that has both TUI and GUI versions. The GUI version will have: - drag and drop - show document type, icon and filename - inline images - variable fonts, esp. monospace for code blocks So GUI is mainly about readability. CLI works fine too but is inherently limited. I think GUI agents will keep pushing further in information layout, rendering, retrieval and interact…

Even more basic stuff like copy and paste, which works like everywhere else except the terminal. Can you paste something in the middle of what you already typed in your terminal? Not in mine. It can highlight the stuff as you type it , though some terminals can also do that somewhat. It has a list of my sessions so I don’t need to have lots of terminals open or juggle them with tmux and stuff like that. I can actually click on a command to see its output and expand individually thinking sections and so on. I can review code on a side bar instead of losing the text box I am writing on. There’s probably hundreds of more advantages you must really make an effort to not see.

The only advantage of the terminal is that it’s easier to use on remote machines. I can’t think of anything else, even the usual benefits of composing commands is not relevant for a CLI like Claude Code.

I really like the bit where he transferred ownership of Ghostty to a non-profit, and is now building this new company on that as an open source dependency: > We will build on libghostty exactly as it was designed to be used: as a public building block for terminal applications. Superlogical will consume the same MIT-licensed components available to everyone else, and we will continue to upstream shared terminal work…

Kind of depends on the governance, which i am mot familiar with. Would be a shame for him to lose control when he has done a decent job so far. Transferring governance has turned into a woke mess enough times to be concerning.

At least there's no history of security issues with that.

Can you explain how the COM/ActiveX security history applies here?

The specific technology causes security issues? Nope.

The Visual Basic empowers a whole generation of non-coders to become sort of coders causes security issues? Yeah, I think I can do that with AI.

A Multiplexer let's you run multiple terminals in one window, this is a new one. WindowsOS does not get as nice of tools as Linux generally.

After using a tiling WM, it feels like this is a window manager job. It even works for non-terminal applications.

Multiplexer works without any WM installed, which is nice.

This seems like a mix of several projects I recently encountered, such as https://pi-web.dev , https://github.com/kunchenguid/firstmate , https://github.com/stablyai/orca , and https://herdr.dev.

Very interesting idea! I would be glad to collaborate on it.

Here's my contacts and GH https://massimo.deluisa.bio (or https://xn--obk691h.com my poor website).

Anyway, I wish you @mitchellh the best of luck with this new adventure!

Pardon the plug, but I thought I'd point out that I think SciCommander [1], or the ideas behind it, could be very relevant for this stack. It does capture a provenance graph for any ad-hoc shell commands executed in the shell mode, or if prepended by `sci run`, by tracing all new files created from commands, and creating an accompanying json file for every output with metadata, which can later be assembled into a gra…

I’ve been looking for something like this!

Glad to hear if it meets your needs!

Isnt zellij quite modern? What does herdr do better than zellij?

As a zellij sponsor I’ve been wondering the same. I rebuild herdr from master every few days to gauge the direction it’s moving in. What herdr gets right over zellij: - Default keybinds don’t conflict with helix. Even the leader key mode in zellij keeps alt-bindings around. Herdr keeps things nicely tucked away. - There’s beta support for the kitty image protocol. Three years on, we’re still waiting in zellij. - Noti…

what's the zellij plugin?

> We will build a high-quality terminal multiplexer that remains excellent at that job, even as it grows to support the second and third parts of the plan. why this feels the next step is data collection and Ads?

Would you pay for it to not have data collections and ads?

would you start some business endeavor after being a well off multimillionaire, where the goal is to implement advertising?
