I think the downvotes may be that you're posing a rhetorical question based on a sample size of one. As opposed to spending 15 more seconds to try a few more things and saying "I tried 10 commands, nothing worked" or "I tried 10 commands, works great, but Ctrl+C is broken on Windows and that really needs to be fixed" My experience with the Zeit team is that they're very responsive and interactive via GitHub - I'd be…

Did you miss the part about the next four things I tried also being broken along with the github links in which I filed the bug reports?

"I literally have not tried a single other thing"

And without clicking through to all four links, there's no indication that they were from you trying things.

uses quite a bit of cpu on my little dual core i5, terminal looks great tho

EDIT:

Also who came up with using the hotkeys (Alt + Ctrl + tab) & (Alt + Ctrl + Shift + tab), How are you even supposed to use those O.o

> 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.

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?

Einstein did just set out to improve Newtonian Mechanics. Special Relativity is just Newtonian Mechanics over the Lorentz Transform.

General Relativity is the implication of Special Relativity being true, generalized for all observers.

Einstein's approach was very much step 1, just repeated 2-3 times.

Special Relativity didn't necessarily destroy Newton's gravity. To be generalized in GR gravity had to stop being force. It was just a natural implication of a prior step.

The idea you can chase a total alien solution nobody supports and pull complete magic out of thin air is rarely true. Normally it is just a myth created by people who don't actually understand the solution or process that attained it.

I tried hyper a week or two ago. It's fun and nice... zippy enough in everyday use and fairly pretty. But I had problems pasting commands into it, and it seems incapable of remembering multi-window layouts between sessions. But, everybody has their own list of must-haves and deal-breakers. I'm sure hyper 1.0.0 does enough for a significant number of people out there. Congrats to the team.

I've been using it since I saw this post. Impressions so far:

1. It's actually not that zippy. Do a "find /" and watch it lock up.

2. Rendering is very glitchy. Resizing the window seems to cause all hell to break loose for me and I have to restart to get things working again.

3. There are hot key problems. Sometimes hot keys (i.e. COMMAND-1 open tab 1, COMMAND-2 open tab 2) don't work, sometimes they do. Clicking in the window makes them work (temporarily) but doing some other stuff can break that again.

4. Sometimes it seems like I'm focused ON that tab, not IN the tab and I have to use my mouse fix that. That's a problem for something that's supposed to be keyboard driven.

Edit:

5. I tried to exit the application and now I'm stuck in an infinite modal dialog "uncaught exception" loop.

It looks like a very promising application, but a replacement for iTerm 2 it is not. This feels like this should be a 0.10 release and not a 1.0 release to me. This app is not robust enough to justify 1.0. :(

While not quite ready for a 1.0.0, there has been some neat stuff going on in hyper: over the last week, the tokio branch added support for TLS, and from what I hear, is mostly waiting on tokio's initial release to be merged into master. Soon........

Does the parser support HTTP2 yet?

No, but it is marked for the 1.0 release: https://github.com/hyperium/hyper/issues/304

Erm... What is it? I've clicked through several pages and still don't know, aside from the fact that apparently it extends the command line in some way. But I might just be missing something.

It says right at the top of the home page, it's a Terminal emulator, it just happens to be written with JavaScript and HTML. It would be nice of the title of the HN post said this (Hyper 1.0 Released, A Terminal Emulator built using Web Technologies), but it's easy to figure out once you go to the home or github page. I fault the OP for the poor title, not the project.

You're absolutely right - I missed that.

BTW, it might just be the fact I have scripts blocked, but it doesn't appear to say that on the homepage at hyper.is - just the Github page.

I tried Hyper out a while back because I thought the customizability offered interesting options and the ability to have terminal and browser tabs literally side by side, in the same window, had the potential for a good workflow.

I ended up switching back to iTerm2 because encountering minor bugs was a frequent enough occurrence and iTerm2 works perfectly well for me.

I'm now curious what people who have been using Hyper consistently think about its usability and whether it's worth it to switch over? For me, worth it means at least matching iTerm2 in basic functionality and utility, having no noticeable performance issues, and not being a high battery drain. Thoughts?

Try `ps -afx` in Hyper. Then in iTerm 2. Though I love the ideas behind Hyper, I'm going to stick with iTerm 2 as my daily terminal for now.

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

Note, don't actually try this as it will lock up Hyper and you'll have to force quit it.

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.

> 3. Wow, much features, such productivity.

Not to mention that both xdg-open and open can both do that on GNU/Linux and OS X, respectively.
