Taskbook: Like Trello but for the Terminal

Those screenshots are extremely slick. What terminal is that, and what styling options is it using?

Seems like it's probably slightly Photoshopped, however Hyper (https://hyper.is/) comes really close.

That does look nice, but... hmm... Electron? I don't usually have a problem with Electron, but I kinda think terminals in particular should be as light as possible. No harm in testing it, I suppose.

Yeah there's also a terminal emulator built into VS Code, but it seems that every release they add a heap of features to it which I feel like are already present in existing emulators - feels like reinventing the wheel and I'm not sure about the benefits yet.

Besides of course ease in styling with css and hackability.

Hi, I build the terminal in VS Code and am a maintainer on xterm.js. There is some reinventing of the wheel happening but that's because xterm.js is the best option out there for building a terminal in a web context. As WorldMaker mentioned though, it's open source and a communal effort, so anyone can pick it up and build a terminal that runs in a browser or Electron with ease.

VS Code and Hyper both use the same upstream emulator library (xterm.js [1]), so at least a lot of the wheel "reinvention" in this space is a communal effort.

lol I saw that it said "built on Electron" and reflexively said "...EWW" out loud.

EDIT: people, I'm not saying Electron is gross. I think it's awesome. I do however think it seems very off to use it to build a terminal.

sadly the vast majority of new projects these days seem to be done in nodeJS regardless of if javascript is a good choice for the project or not, and if it needs a desktop GUI that means electron.

I think is hyper terminal with this theme ; https://github.com/klauscfhq/hyperocean (it is from the same author as taskbook)

Looks like Carbon to me. In other words, fake.

Carbon does not have that theme though, it is probably hyper terminal on Macos with the author's theme https://github.com/klauscfhq/hyperocean

* there is no custom theme option either, and they have stopped accepting new themes too; https://github.com/dawnlabs/carbon/issues/427#issuecomment-4...
