Idea

Bring conviniance of workflow known from tools like tmux to desktop gui. Terminal is main utility, but additional components are planned for complete workflow:

• Local and remote file manager. By default each terminal will have one instance behind it with current location in sync between them. (currently postponed because of problematic implementation of existing file management components)

• Monacco based text editor with linter and source code format tools. Will be capable of editing files directly from terminal and file manager.

• Easy plugin from

Main goal is to keep things as simple, performant and lightweight as possible by passing on all possible dependencies.

• No webpack, no babel

• No React / Vue / Angular React components (no babel = jsx replaced with htm )

• Alpinejs for reactive features - https://github.com/alpinejs/alpine

• xterm webgl - for performance
