It makes sense because JavaScript has, through several bizarre turns of events, become the language du jour , which means all sort of clueless people are falling over themselves to abuse it in increasingly convoluted ways, so that the clueless people in corporate HR who've been told "We need someone who is a JavaScript rockstar!" can be wowed by the description of some nightmarish contraption that "really takes insan…

You know what's tiring? People getting out of their way to gratuitously criticize the collective effort of a coordinated group of passionate people who just want to have fun reinventing the wheel.

> passionate people who just want to have fun reinventing the wheel

Maybe instead of building square wheels they should work on improving some of the existing round wheels.

As much as I love this project, the commit messages and release notes are terrible for figuring out what's been fixed. Actually the only way I was able to track bugs was by watching the repo and seeing everything or checking in on an issue every so often. For releases they've streamlined it but I still have to dive into the code between releases to find fixes and reverts.

I've switched back to iterm2 due to these two issues which can easily be fixed by the maintainer(s)

I'm incredibly confused about why I should switch from iTerm. If you've been using Hyper, can you tell me why you switched and what was better?

1. Hyperpower plugin. power mode on, sync with my techno songs. 2. More disk space. 3. Can open facebook via terminal.

OK, I just installed it on Windows. Right out of the box, it does not recognize ctrl+c. What am I supposed to think about the quality of this? (I literally have not tried a single other thing. I made a typo on the very first command I wanted to try. I tried ctrl+c to start over, and it did not recognize it.) EDIT I gave it another chance. If I start a bash shell, it recognizes ctrl+c, but it does not recognize the up…

Have you tried opening an issue on it's repo?

Also try `yes` in Hyper, see what happens.

what the... is that supposed to be piped into cli programs that don't have a -y switch?

Yes.

I have a program at work that does something like

Do you want to remove x from y? [y/n]

Do you want to remove z from y? [y/n]

Do you want to remove a from y? [y/n]

etc. etc, 100s of times. yes is a lifesaver.

I also like how it's used as an experiment for basic optimization: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/4wde08/optimising_yes...

4.5 GB/s of 'y'. Hilarious.

Someone beat me to it, and it was promptly closed: https://github.com/zeit/hyper/issues/1121

EDIT: I wrongly stated that the issue was closed. Please see further downthread. I apologize.

Fails my standard "Too many clicks to understand what this is" test. Posted link has virtually no description of what the project is. Going to the root of the github repo has release notes and with the most detailed description as "HTML/CSS/JS Terminal" but burned into a PNG file. Best description of the product is on "hyper.is" in an animated GIF form. People working on project like this need to understand that with…

Not sure if "that the uptake is going to be very, very low" is very true, since the project has over 11000 stars on Github and I've seen people in the wild using it. But I'm a web developer, so...

Also, I found it easy to figure out what it was. Github description has " A terminal built on web technologies", website says "JS/HTML/CSS Terminal" and the readme mentions "HTML/JS/CSS Terminal" again. Sure, would be nice of a description of what the basic features and such there is, but probably not needed for their target developers, web developers who want to be able to modify their terminal.

Btw, I don't use Hyper myself, just felt that parent comment was a bit off.

Hmm, I've never personally heard of or used the product, but I immediately understood it was, just from the release notes. What more were you looking for to clarify what it is?

These are release notes so don't expect a project description there. And I think the gif on the homepage makes it perfectly clear (to me at least).
