@cenk Ouch. They're getting torn apart piece by piece.

@itsnblackburn@dandigangi@cenk I worked at a startup (Codenvy) that created a cloud dev environment with terminal, text editor etc. I've never seen a product get so ripped into by a community than on HN. Those guys are really closed off about changing their setup + it's a community that generally rewards criticism and negativity unfortunately.
@dandigangi@cenk Unfortunately that's what happens when you put out a solution that's incredibly inefficient compared to existing solutions. An electron app is never going to compete with a native one. Electron is terrible for resources on most apps and it's only getting compounded for many programming purposes. The more that gets done in an Electron app, the worse performance tends to be. Running a simple npm install or running a server will just further run up RAM and CPU utilization in which electron tends to be very poor about purging when the task is complete.
That being said, I think Hyper is pretty cool and has a lot of potential, but the primary target audience needs efficiency at the core. Looking forward to what comes in the future. I'm sure the attention will lead to plenty of further development and refactors to a better product. Keep it up Hyper team.
@j_r_wi11iams Ugh yeah, it's awful. I made a dumb little FTP client messing around with Electron. Just something super simple/minimal that I basically made for myself for the tiny bit I use FTP, and I wanted to play with Electron. It was posted on HN and got torn apart. On the GitHub readme I specifically said it was a super minimal FTP client that doesn't do much. All the HN comments were something like "This is stupid. It doesn't do much. Why would you make something when there are already programs that do it well like Filezilla."
That's when I began hating HN.

This is a mini-webserver written in Javascript running the terminal as a webapp in a mini-webbrowser, right?
Not that I was expecting something related to Apple's HyperCard 💚😃
This looks awesome, trying it out now. Is there a way to change the color of input vs output? I want to be able to clearly see what I typed vs other stuff in the terminal

@ramykhuffash you can do it in bash / zsh, don't need hyper for that I think
Would really love some details on what this does in the Windows capacity. It it a pretty shell over base CMD or PowerShell? Does it bake in anything extra like Git shell?
Having given this a go in the past, it seems to now be a lot more stable. Congrats on the 1.0.0 release!
I'll be switching to Hyper as my default Terminal.
I'm pretty fond of Hyper(term), been using it for 3ish months now. Had some hiccups with the package manager when it switched from Hyperterm -> Hyper.app but seems to be all good now.
A super cool product from @rauchg and the Zeit team. The world is a better place when stuff is built with JavaScript. When compared to a bash terminal its a little slower but its fast enough for me and copy and paste works correctly in the terminal which more than makes up for this. Keep the great products coming folks.
