Sharing some more UI previews for Superlogical, this time the "tab peek." If you three-finger swipe down, you can "peek" at the other session tabs. These are live-updating, metal-rendered previews including splits. If you keep dragging, you enter a "mission control" style mode. This is one of those UI patterns that once you get used to, you mindlessly find yourself doing it ALL THE TIME. It's a great way to quickly take a look at everything thats going on. You aren't reading the mini text of course, but the shape of it tells you a lot about where things are. The peek pushes the terminal down off screen, it doesn't resize it, so it doesn't force any weird reflow or anything either. There's a lot more to talk about, especially about how this interacts with how we expose what needs attention so you can easily find the terminals/sessions/etc. that require your attention. Of course, you'll be able to drive this with the keyboard too. :) As always, a disclaimer: this is all early work subject to change, just trying to share some of what we're building in public. A lot of the UI experiential design is @almonk so follow him for more updates too!

Quality software doesn’t break, doesn’t demand attention, knows its limits, and fixes fast. @almonk is a fine builder of quality software, recommend.

Beautiful libghostty-based iOS/iPad terminal by @almonk. Libghostty has been blowing up in usage it’s kind of silently behind so many apps now I’ll continue to share more. The idea is working! https://t.co/erZ4NhvoUt
