A couple more notes on this: First, the xterm.js benchmarks were very noisy. A lot of the results relied on whether they got lucky with the V8 JIT/inliner. e.g. the frame times for ASCII ranged from 20us to 100us (!!!). For the purpose of optimism, I only used the fastest times

libghostty for WebAssembly got a lot of love recently and is now very, very, very good. I spent the day building harnesses and comparing to xterm.js and here are the results: faster at IO, faster at reflow, faster at rendering. Like, a lot a lot faster. We now provide pre-built

Look how good these themes are. They permeate through the app plus into the terminal. We built out a set of 41 fully original human designer curated themes. We also built a full in browser theme editor. The plan is to open source with a permissive license and package them all

It's Friday, lets talk about themes. For @superlogical we've created a suite of 41 original themes for both light and dark modes that are portable across all our clients. Themes tint not just the ANSI terminal colors, but the entire application chrome.

I'm so incredibly tired of seeing low-effort AI-designed web pages. I basically bounce off any new product immediately when I see it (never get a chance to judge the product itself). Lots of thin lines, glowy styles, inconsistent fonts, lots of monospace. You know who you are.

A form of Conway's law: high quality internal tools lead to high quality external tools. Here's Hector showing our internal dev tool we use to build our deck icon sets, including publishing the icons.

Making dev tools for our dev tools. 'Super Icon Studio' is how I've been designing the icons for our 'Deck' icon groups - it covers design finish across light/dark modes, layout compositions, animations, an icon catalogue, and ships as a highly customizable Swift package ready
