It says right at the top of the home page, it's a Terminal emulator, it just happens to be written with JavaScript and HTML.

It would be nice of the title of the HN post said this (Hyper 1.0 Released, A Terminal Emulator built using Web Technologies), but it's easy to figure out once you go to the home or github page.

I fault the OP for the poor title, not the project.

You're absolutely right - I missed that.

BTW, it might just be the fact I have scripts blocked, but it doesn't appear to say that on the homepage at hyper.is - just the Github page.
