Hyper
A terminal built on web technologies
Hyper is an open-source terminal emulator built with web technologies (Electron, React, and Redux). It offers a highly extensible plugin system via npm, allowing developers to customize themes, keymaps, and behavior through a JavaScript API. The project aims to provide a beautiful, fast, and stable command-line interface experience.
Hyper is built on Electron with xterm.js for rendering, and exposes React component and Redux action hooks so npm-distributed plugins can customize every aspect of the terminal.
