Can anyone comment on the relationship between memory usage and the number of windowed instances of Black Screen?
Right now I have 8 terminals open, some tabbed, some not, Sometimes I can have over twice as many. Many of them sit untouched on an Awesome workspace for days ready for me to come back to whenever I need them. This isn't a issue since their memory footprint is almost non-existent on pretty much any machine. Could I get away with this if I had to run an instance of Node + Chromium per terminal window? Is Black Screen one step ahead of me and it'll reuse an already running instance and open up another window? Do I want all my terminal instances to be managed by a single node process? Despite my reservations, still going to give this a go.
On a side note, anyone looking for a slightly more useful shell that is still very lightweight: check out fish: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell
