I like the tiling concept but I don't see the source code linked, is this closed source? There's no way I'd run a terminal that didn't have publicly inspectable source, there's just too much that could go wrong.

omg, the DMG weighs 3MB and the installed app is only 9MB. Amazing

Looks really nice! Super clean site too. How did you make the animation at the top?

Thanks! Glad you like! The logo animation is an SVG with CSS keyframe animations.

Tried it, lean and elegant, amazing tool ! I like the "omarchy/wayland" auto focus of the tab when moving the mouse over, saves a click, this could be added as an option.

Thanks! Let me know if there’s anything I can do to make it more useful. I thought in the next update I’d work on custom key bindings but if there’s anything more glaring, I’d love to hear it.

> Honestly, if you live in tmux, this probably isn't for you but it's really helped to speed up my workflow.

Fresh honesty, nice.

Haha, I mean ever since launching this I’m learning of a zillion alternatives I should have probably tried earlier but for me the auto tiling is really the main thing and, as far as I can see, no other alternatives really do that for some reason? Maybe there’s a good reason but it suits my workflow anyway
