I'm not an electron hater, but a terminal in electron sounds like a parody.

"built on an open web framework...."

hard pass then. Why the hell would I want to open a browser instance for a terminal???

Unfortunately this terminal emulator uses electron, but otherwise looks nice

No Zsh support for now, and maybe no user fonts?

And a warning: it's got telemetry on by default.

[-] lemann@lemmy.one 11 points 11 months ago

it's got telemetry on by default.

Very, very hard pass. Might even blow out my suspension doing so

Backed by VC, so you know they're just waiting for an exit

Electron is a DEALBREAKER!

[-] MonkCanatella@sh.itjust.works 24 points 11 months ago

Cross platform, a long as it's mac or linux lol.

Are you implying that there is anything else that matters?

What the fuck does it actually do, and what is one use case?

[-] interolivary@beehaw.org 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Well it collects data from you, and one use case for your data is allowing a nice 💰 exit for the venture capital -backed company building it.

Other than that, not a whole lot that's worth yet another "powered by open web standards" Electron piece of shit

[-] superbirra@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

lol, no thank you

Quickly edit code on a local or remote machine with the same editor that powers VSCode.

so it's vscode, but not. you can just install an extention to get remote abilities.

[-] zerofk@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

I … Wha…. WHY??

[-] NostraDavid@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

Wezterm or death. I would have chosen Alacritty, if pasting in Vim wasn't broken.

[-] MarkPotatoes@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

I’ll have a look to this, a VScode editor like for remote can be handful sometime

[-] NostraDavid@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago

so... vscode? you can install an extention for remote connections (made by MS)

[-] einsteinx2@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago

Vscode even has a terminal built in haha

[-] filister@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

Personally I am waiting for the warp terminal to try it out: https://www.warp.dev/
