This doesn't make sense. WebGL is as GPU accelerated as the other young'ish GPU accelerated terminals, except that they're not running in the browser, which should(tm) make them run faster. On the other hand, rendering is jus

We finally have a software-fallback, and do not hard-depend on AES-NI anymore. But if it's present, we'll use it (also its equivalent on ARM64)

Hey, we are using Qt only on the pure frontend GUI side. The rendering itself is using FreeType + HarfBuzz independantly of the GUI. We chose this model explicitly to still be free to replace Qt with something else in the future - iff we ha

To be honest, refterm was a bad idea to begin with. It's not a terminal, and it eventually also stated that in its README.md. Not to mention, that you - by definition - can't compare apples with pies. refterm is not a terminal and

simply put, yes. but I know very well that performance can be measured in many different dimensions and ways. I optimize for speed for my own personal use-cases (vim should be fluent as well as notcurses-demo as well as cat'ing large o

How did you install Contour and what is the TERM environment variable set to and is your terminfo properly resolved? I just asked someone with an AMD/NVIDIA card to try out nvtop inside Contour and it worked. So I assume maybe there is

While I personally find your comment quite insulting, I think that we have pretty brought support for various mainstream Linux distributions and also release binaries, including for MacOS and Windows. For Arch there's even an AUR, and

There are many reasons for me to not have kitty protocol implemented. Objectively speaking, I try to mention only one here: Sixel seems to have raised attraction across the whole terminal community over the past years and gets stronger adop

Please give us feedback in the issue tracker. We know we're not perfect, but certainly very much appreciate positive constructive feedback as well as bug reports. p.s.: I did not submit this link here, I intentionally try to avoid that

To be fair, the vi input mode (or modal input modes) in Contour are way more than simply doing `set -o vi` in bash. You cannot compare those two. The reason why I implemented modal input modes (vi mode) in Contour is, that I noticed Tilix [

Monomux is a terminal multiplexer that isn't a terminal emulator. Less featureful than tmux (therefore) but still the better screen. Read the "Why" section for a much better explanation. :)

Exactly. Therefore you cannot compare a renderers performance with some other that has a fully functional VT backend attached. The comparising result is meaningless. His renderer is good, but the VT throughput performance claims he makes ar

I don't your name, pc86, is a real name, too. That's the life of them internet. So much about Pseudonym. So if already the very first statement is that questionable, how can I believe the rest you write had any truth?

> And yes it is simple. I like. Please submit a PR and make Windows Terminal as fast as refterm, trivially speaking, 2GB/s, no slower than the unoptimized refterm. Just to quote you: simple. :-D

Reading your post feels good, man. But your last sentence kind of bothers me. Why do you feel they are insulting you now? I think, if at all, someone else was, and kept doing, and still is, insulting them instead. I'm just trying to un

Hey; what do you mean by "force"? I mean, to me this reads like you don't want to see italic nor bold font in the terminal (due to lag of monospace support in that regard maybe). But I think having the possibility of italic,

this whole website rather sounds like a blackmail. I'm not a big fan of systemd (anymore) either. but forking is not a solution to the init-system problem et al.

800 lines of assembler code basically means just 800 assembler (CPU) instructions - for a complete FAT32 filesystem driver? I really hardly doubt that unless seen. :-) Any way to opensource that or anything else to comment on your shockin
