I'm very excited to have this because it's the first bit of high quality open source software to hit the streets in a while.

I like where we're headed with tools like this and Ladybird[0] for hope of a subscriptionless future.

Thank you, Mitchell!

The author has a dev log I’d recommend if you’re curious about what makes it different + general goodies on Zig/terminal emulators.

I assume this is mostly a mac thing? The effort to get this up and running on debian appears to be a bit more work than normal.

I just want to say thanks for the minimum-contrast option: https://ghostty.org/docs/config/reference#minimum-contrast

I've grown so sick of tools/TUIs that output unreadable text (like Debian's ls that defaults to dark-blue-on-black for directories). I look forward to never manually theming a terminal app again!
