Black Screen: A modern terminal emulator based on Electron

You should probably put a note saying as much at the top of the README.

Pretty cool looking project though, I have been thinking about something like this for a while now. The two biggest problems seem to be performance(I spawn throwaway shells all the time, so my terminal emulator need to open pretty much instantly), and fully compatibility(I use vim in the terminal as my main editor).

I'll be watching to see how it turns out.

Thank you for your kind words. Spawning a shell shouldn't be a performance bottleneck as long as you create a new tab or pane, and not a new application instance. By the way there is a (very) experimental support of panes, press cmd + _ to split horizontally.

By biggest concern is how to cat a 50MB file. If you try it now, everything gets stuck.
