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.

What Happens Before the Main Function is Called ?
refterm, a terminal emulator proof of concept.
- Beside SDL, is there an easier way to just show a custom rectangle with text, cross-platform?

Why Modern Software Is Slow
> licensing it so that they couldn’t even look at it
https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm/blob/main/LICENSE
It’s just GPL 2.0, what are you talking about!?
Are Microsoft employees vampires that will burn up instantly if they merely glance at GPL code or something?
This is sour grapes nonsense from Microsoft. “We don’t like your tone so we won’t even dignify your argument by considering it.”
At one point an MS employee said they would love to fix their code as suggested by Casey but he refused to even look at the YouTube video!
“I would love to hear your arguments but I refuse to listen to the sound of your voice.” is next-level dismissive.

How can I create a rogue engine from scratch without curses?
Casey Muratori made a renderer/terminal a short while back. Might be a good reference of you intend to go that route. https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm

Microsoft insults dev then takes credit for their idea
You keep complaining that it's not a fully working terminal. Casey, on the other hand, writes here: [1]
> These features are not designed to be comprehensive, since this is only meant to be a reference renderer, not a complete terminal.

Burn My Windows
After that post they did implement a full reference implementation:
https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm/commits/main
And there is movement in getting changes into the terminal itself:

Wezterm
For a basic example of why you would want GPU acceleration, have a look at refterm: https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm
Even processes that you wouldn't think would be impacted by a terminal can be hurt relaly bad by your terminal's performance: your compiler's logs, etc. The GPU rendering part merely guarantees that your terminal sticks at 60FPS (or, whatever your refresh rate is) if the processing behind is efficient.

icons in neotree
What terminal emulator are you using? I have noticed that the latest release of iterm2 has problems rendering glyphs (see this discussion and links therein). I too am having problems displaying any nerd font icon due to the aforementioned.

Tell HN: macOS is degrading fast, and GNU/Linux is now better for most uses
Found the bug report related: https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/9372
2 things to note:
- This bug has 12 +1s, which suggests it was never very widespread (I could be wrong); and
- Big Sur was 2 major releases ago.
Like I mentioned, I never saw this issue, and had never heard of it despite the fact that probably about half the people I work with use Macs, and I believe nearly all of them use iTerm2.
- Iterm2 scrolling choppy

Getting Started with Tmux
I had trouble getting the tmux setup working in iterm.
The main page suggests -CC, but the best practices wiki[0] says to use `-CC new -A -s main`, but this causes iterm to warn that a session is already started and doesn't actually create or reattach like I expected. I also had trouble getting the tmux select-layout to work: when I tried it all my panes just exited with an error. I would like to have iterm behave similarly to Kitty's tall layout[1] which I think is the same thing as tmux's main layout, but haven't figured out how to make it work. Anybody have tips on making these wek?

Terminal Graphics for the 21st Century
I just found this, the synchronized updates spec from iTerm2: https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/wikis/synchronized-upda...
Googling for it, it seems some other terminals implement this as well.

What does it mean when the cursor looks like this in iterm (mac)? I can't copy text when it looks this way and I'm not sure how a panel enters this state.
According to https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/8827, this occurs when "reporting is enabled". This means that mouse clicks are reported as special events to the application running in the terminal rather than being handled by the terminal emulator itself. According to https://iterm2.com/documentation-preferences-profiles-terminal.html, you can temporarily disable it by holding down Option.
