Looks really neat. But there's a dissonance between the positioning here vs. the audience it is intended for. The community of folks interested in using a terminal is largely one of grizzled veterans that significantly overlap with security (conscious) folks.
Overlap with Instagram influencers living their best life in public is approximately nil. :)
I suppose there are newbie developers that don't know better, but are already using vscode and use the built-in term if they even bother. I could see cloud features and telemetry being useful however as an opt-in separate install.
So, I'd dial back the idea that "modern" means giving in to the surveillance dystopia.
Bonus points if you get it running under OS/2.
Also, was just reading about how Flynn couldn't get funded, that made me a bit sad.

I think they’re running the same playbook as most investor-backed dev tool companies. They just forgot you’re supposed to reach critical mass before you start the mandatory invasive data harvesting.
