I'm looking forward to trying it out!
I'm surprised by how much attention the name is getting. I don't think I personally know anyone who would use GNU Screen over tmux. And disambiguation doesn't seem hard in this case anyway.
One thing that does mildly concern me is the prospect of Screen just turning out to be another Screenhero in terms of being acquired and then neglected or discontinued. But hopefully that won't happen based on the lessons learned in the founder's post[1].

- jsherwani 7y agoFWIW, I believe life’s too short to be doing the same thing over again. I’m building Screen because I want to see where we can take it independently, as I think we had some great ideas that weren’t able to see the light of day. Screen is already a far more useful product IMO than Screenhero was. Having experienced an acquisition, there’s not much value in going through the same experience again. What’s personally interesting to me is: can we make something that helps all knowledge workers work together remotely in a way that they couldn’t before? We were onto something with Screenhero, and I’m excited at the chance of following that thread again, and seeing where it takes us! Having said that, I know trust takes time to build, and I hope to prove this to you with actions rather than words.
- dguo 7y agoThanks for the reply, and good luck! I'm particularly excited about trying it out since you've already implemented cross-platform support.
