Reading up on terminal

Mind boggling to me that I can make a thing faster and there's always people that ask "but why?" What kind of mentality is that? The pursuit of excellence does not need justification. Also, I find in so many cases, we can't know the impact of an improvement until we do it. For example, one I've talked about before: Ghostty's high IO throughput has enabled terminal program (emulator and TUI) fuzzing at a speed thats incomparably fast to prior solutions. This has resulted in upstream patches to resolve issues in popular projects like btop, tmux, and more. Speed enabled that anecdotally example that lifted the tides of adjacent communities that don't rely on Ghostty technology at all. I didn't predict this. Make things better because they can be better and let the results naturally play out.

found a library (Takumi) that turns React into images. was curious if that unlocked any neat visuals in a terminal. turns out yeah! kinda pointless, but the visual fidelity is fun. render the components to an image, then draw it in the terminal with the kitty protocol. did some SVG based charts and a little 'lock screen' UI.

Another day another libghostty-based project, this time a macOS terminal with vertical tabs, better organization/notifications, embedded/scriptable browser specifically targeted towards people who use a ton of terminal-based agentic workflows. https://t.co/9SLNCxM21S

I love Aether, but I love the terminal even more.Here's Peachy.Omarchy is the first-class citizen for theming. However, it has full support for all kinds of distros. It even supports macOS.Started playing Arc Raiders during the Holidays, so a new theme had to be made. pic.twitter.com/SqqY1Ij6LK
