@alokvasudev many things! I would definitely love to see this one: https://twitter.com/rauchg/statu...

Reminds me a little of https://github.com/shockone/blac... (although I think black-screen seems to have a slightly more radical rethinking of terminal emulators).

I heard Windows is coming out with a developer terminal. Are you concerned or no? @rauchg

@jeffrey_wyman can't comment on their plans, but my main focus is to just make HyperTerm great for Windows users!

@jeffrey_wyman it's also worth pointing out that Microsoft has been coming out with amazing stuff recently. I haven't used VS Code but it's built on similar tech as this, and have a lot of friends that swear by it!

Very snappy! Really like the fact that you can do even more *in* the terminal.

Seems like the "Get It" link is broken, new link is here: https://hyper.is/

I installed today and it's very sleek. My Terminal.app use doesn't really require the features of iTerm2 and this works very well! Dark theme/bright colors FTW!

Hey everyone! This is Guillermo Rauch, founder of ▲ZEIT (https://zeit.co). At our company we're big fans of the terminal. We think it's one of the most productive interfaces in the world. Our first product `now` allows you to deploy with one command and get feedback in realtime (https://zeit.co/now). When I was creating the animation for the now website, I designed a terminal that didn't really exist. It was simple and clean, but it only lived in Sketch. I decided to take that concept further. In addition to the simplicity of the look n' feel, HyperTerm is completely extensible and built on web standards. I'm really excited about what the community can create on top of it!

Very cool! Currently working on a project to bring in-browser coding lessons to people in prison on a locked-down, web-based learning management system delivered via tablet. Down the road we definitely want folks familiar with terminal, as it's such a crucial step to being a successful developer. Looking forward to connecting when the time is right.

Well done @rauchg!

Crazy glad you're launching this! Very excited to start using it everywhere. Where do you see it going, feature-wise? What do you think you'll end up doing that other terminals don't? What does Electron/Node.js enable you to do?

Is it possible to use the cmd + arrow key to navigate between words?

Neat. Will wait for a Windows/Linux build.

Every day at work, I think "if only there was something as good as iTerm for operating systems that aren't OSX". Perhaps that day is finally coming. I'm very excited.

It's not available for windows. I love trying all products on product hunt, but every 2 out of 5 products don't support my devices =( The project looks really cool. Will love to know when you are planning to make it available to windows users :)

@mohitgangrade they are saying that there will be a Windows version shortly.

@mohitgangrade This is definitely a big priority for us. I could have made a Windows build, but I didn't want to deliver a subpar experience with glitches, or not enough cohesion with the OS.

I just spawned a HyperTerm to run a simple Python HTTP Server. Crashed within 5 minutes. Any way for me to be able to send you crash dumps?

I was waiting for a good web technologies based terminal since long time: great work, thank you :)

Woo! Love it Guillermo!
