Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Autodafe: "freeing your freeing your project from the clammy grip of autotools."
> you need to "edit your makefile". That isn't going to work for distributions
Is it not? [st] requires exactly that. And distros seem to have no issues shipping it.

Tabby: A terminal for a more modern age
I am fundamentally and ideologically opposed to using a terminal emulator implemented in electron.

How to make simple terminal transparent
You can use different forks of the ST. I, for example, use this one, already with the necessary patches https://github.com/mrdotx/st

Warp? A terminal behind login popup
My journey of using terminal emulators began together with my introduction to Linux about 7 years ago. GNOME terminal was my first as it came pre-installed on Ubuntu, my first Linux distribution. Since then, I've had the opportunity to explore and utilize a range of terminal emulators, including Alacritty, Kitty, st, Konsole, xterm, and most recently iTerm2. It's been interesting to experiment with these different emulators, each offering its unique features (or similar however with each with personal touch), user interfaces, and performance benchmarks. Just the other day, a new terminal emulator caught my attention: Warp Terminal. My curiosity won, and Warp was downloaded, this short blog are my thoughts about Warp terminal. At the moment there is only support for macOS, however linux and windows builds are on the way.

XTerm: It's Better Than You Thought (2021)
For those looking for a minimal VT100 terminal emulator without the legacy baggage of Xterm, I highly recommend checking out Suckless Software’s st: https://st.suckless.org/
-
circles.nvim - v2.0.1
That last reference builds off of the work of the other two. It also breaks down how NOT modern Xterm is, but, if I've read it correctly, it confirms that its input latency is low compared to all other tested terminal emulators, including Alacritty and ST, which humorously and justifiably thrashes Xterm on its homepage for being a bloated program. Its not a good choice for everyone: it has poor right-to-left text and Unicode support, making working with Chinese, Arabic, and other alphabets not great, I've read.
- Are there any resources you would recommend for someone trying to make a terminal emulator in C and x11?

Which terminal do you usually use?
ST is a favorite of some fervent minimalists. I do not think you would like it.

- dwm crashes rendering 🟢 symbol
-
dwm keeps crashing when opening some websites or when executing some commands
The workaround before the libXft upstream was corrected was to install (or manually patch the fixes from) libXft-bgra.
-
Xorg terminates immediately after the startx loaded dwm
I've attempted to patch libXft with libxft-bgra -> https://github.com/uditkarode/libxft-bgra I've executed the make install portion, how can I now replace the libXft with the libXft-bgra? When I try to: xbps-remove libXft I get: libXft-2.3.4_1 in transaction breaks installed pkg \libXft-devel-2.3.4_1 ~... pango-xft ~...sxiv-26_1` and many other dependencies. When I add them to my xbps-remove command, eventually even xorg would need to be removed.

Problems with glyph rendering in st
Your crashes might be due to a problem in libxft, there is a patched version that manages to render the emojis correctly.

Ubuntudebian Icons In Dwm Status Bar And Dmenu
git clone https://github.com/uditkarode/libxft-bgra cd libxft-bgra sh autogen.sh --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
Did you get this working? I've installed the Noto Color Emoji, removed the lines that avoid dmenu to crash, cloned the repo https://github.com/uditkarode/libxft-bgra , compiled it, but still not working.
