Thanks for doing this George! In addition to donating at https://iterm2.com/donate.html , what can HN users do to help you with iTerm2?

For a persistent connection to a server, I like mosh ( https://mosh.mit.edu ). It works really well for roaming across networks and for intermittent or laggy connectivity.
