> Hyperia is a fork of Hyper Terminal.

I couldn't click fast enough, then discovered that "Hyper Terminal" has nothing to do with "HyperTerminal" and couldn't click "close tab" fast enough.

Ah, yeah, it's not called that anymore I guess (actually looking quickly it was called "HyperTerm" and is now just "Hyper"). Sorry for the confusion. I always have called Hyper "Hyper Terminal" because that's how I remember it on the Mac.

Again, you are right about the naming.

I would also say that HyperTerminal is a terminal for Windows. And, you do you! Use what you love, don't use what you don't.

I picked Hyper as a base because it's written in Electron and was cross platform capable. That said, I've changed a LOT in it to match my workflows and it hasn't given me any issues of late. I've literally seen it crash once the entire time I've been running the installed version (dev is a bit different). It's definitely not the same Hyper, is what I'm saying.

You seem intent on your opinion, and have every right to it.

Build on!
