We've done it twice. Many terminals run under electron or equivalent browser interfaces. So we've implemented TUI in the GUI as well!

- hnlmorg 2y agoThat’s also applies to literally every terminal emulator written since xterm. Most of the modern terms these days have GPU acceleration too.
- ninetyninenine 2y agoNo. This isn’t true. Most terminals are native. They don’t run under a browser engine.
- hnlmorg 2y agoA browser engine isn’t a prerequisite for something using a graphical framework nor running on a desktop environment
- ninetyninenine 2y agoAh I see what you mean. I mean it’s all pixels in the end right? and pixels are primitives for guis. So then the root primitive is in actuality the gui.

- tomxor 2y agoThat sounds like the worst thing ever. So many good native terminals to choose from why ruin it with electron.
