Does anybody else frequently immediately close the tab when you find out that idea involves clientside javascript? But, this one is about a terminal.[1] So I read on... and I found this: > Slowly but surely, Electron-based applications > have started to dominate many of our workflows.

Wtf? You spawn a shell while sitting on top of a writhing swarm of multithreaded mystery code so thick that stack overflow is a thing, in 2016, and you call that freedom?

I know that you are a person, doing a thing. But from my point of view, you are trudging blindly further into the swamp, not out of it, and you are carrying a flag and singing along the way.

(Spoiler: it's a terminal emulator. It also apparently hijacks the command line to support URLs as commands??) 2. Oh, they have a chat room. I'll just go ask them. Uh-oh, they don't say what protocol I should use to connect to the chat room... That's a bad sign. Ah, it's a web app and I have to provide my email address. No, thank you.
