Thank you for every suggestion. Windterm hosted in github is just because many of it will be open source, and github is also very important for windterm. This is only the first release, many things will be done in the feature. If you want to create a great terminal to make users's life easier, you can't do things alone. For example, text editors have created a lot of schemes for python, java, c++, even ada, shell script and etc, so they can provide autocomplete, color styling, folding, lint and so on. But what have done for the systems? Do we have an autocomplete list for Ubuntu's commands of each version? Do we have a whole scheme for every command and every option of Windows's cmd or Macos's bash? How can terminals provide features without these? What is the soul of a terminal? The soul is only lies in the text in them. If we want to click a traceback line in a terminal and then open the error source file and jump to the error line to instead of a lot redundant operations, copy the path, open it in an editor , scroll to the error line, we must need to know what does the tranceback mean. So everything I talked, we need a lot of people's help, just like they have helped text editors in past half of century. When all this have done, every terminal can share the schemes library to provide good features, and everyone has a lot of good tools to choose. I think it is more important than I just open the windterm's source. I call this true open source too. It's not shameful for me to talk about money if I can make a lot of people happier when they using a more useful terminal, but I do care the terminal more than the money. Money is only a byproduct, with or without it, I am still very happy if I make my terminal dreams come to true. |
