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…

I wish more projects would adopt this mentality. I feel like there was a time whenever you went to a project page the first thing you would find was a description and how it was helpful, followed by screenshots and a quick start guide. Nowadays they all just tell you what was in the latest release, or give some instructions on how to install it without telling me why I should even bother take time out of my day to in…

It's the version release notes

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.

Some people make round wheels better. Some people try to create a better wheel than a round one. Both types are usually good for society. The former is most likely to yield any results at all; the latter, when it yields any results, is most likely to produce massive steps forward.

Where would we be if Einstein had spent all his time trying to improve Newton's gravity rather than reinventing it?

You know what's tiring have to over time be forced to use or maintain people's poor decision to reinvent the wheel.

Don't complain. Figure out how to charge consulting fees!

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

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.

That issue looks open to me, and there is no notice in it that it was ever closed. It does however have another issue made after it reporting the same thing and a collaborator closed that issue citing it being a dupe.

Which round wheels would you like to see improved?

Looks really cool but I'd want to better understand how a web technology console application would fare performance and stability wise compared to terminal.app, iTerm 2 and other console applications. Looks cool though and congrats to the team on hitting 1.0.0

I have been using using Hyper kinda since the beginning and eventually switched back to iTerm because it's way faster if you use it all day long. Maybe they improved performance with this version, I will see.

This is how I feel about Sublime Text vs Atom. Every time I try to switch to Atom, I run into this problem. The slight sluggishness gets increasingly annoying the more time I spend using it.

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.

1. Your short description of "hyper power" plug-ins doesn't inspire hope.

2. How much disk space savings? 20MB? Please.

3. Wow, much features, such productivity.

This is right at the top of the GitHub page:

> A terminal built on web technologies https://hyper.is

On the home page, the very first thing it says is:

>Hyper™ JS/HTML/CSS Terminal

Then I scroll down and everything else I see pretty much confirms this. It's a terminal which uses HTML and JavaScript to make things look pretty (which is what I would have inferred from both of those descriptions).

I've seen some terrible pages, but I think you're being a bit harsh on this one.
