I checked your package.json and I see you’re using xterm. Check out ghostty-web[0], which is the Ghostty WASM and can be swapped with xterm.

Thanks! I actually did check it out but was worried by number of issues and the last release being in Dec (ref: https://github.com/coder/ghostty-web/issues/137 )

Crossing my fingers for a more official libghostty soon for the web! I know Hashimoto is working on it.

It's been working super well for me. First tool that actually works well on Linux.

I know you said MIT License, but just FYI there is no LICENSE file in the repo :)

Also thank you for not having a super long ai-generated readme! I'll give it a try.

I now it's "yours", but do you know how you differ from for example https://cmux.com/ which I'm happily using right now?

I wouldn't say change your workflow if you're happy, but I'll answer anyhow!

I also actually tried cmux, but I didn't like they way it did tabs. I like my tabs top-level and not inside panes (but I realize this is a personal choice).

We also do good GH native integrations (linking PRs, showing statuses, and linking GH issues). We also do AI status indicator even for non-focused terminal panes. You can also manually mark a worktree as 'unread' (kind of like a star in Gmail) In addition Orca has a built in file viewer, search, git diff viewer (see all changes like VsCode does)

Also cmux is Mac only (doesn't matter for you, but for others)

So tl;dr -- alot of small things. But those build up for me in a tool that I basically find myself living in

^ I updated the post to reflect some of these

Thanks for the rundown. I just started using cmux and the pane behavior you’re describing is my biggest gripe. I’ll check this out.
