An old terminal HTML template

In plain words

An Old Terminal is an HTML template for developers who want to create retro terminal-style web interfaces. Launched in 2019, it provides a ready-made foundation for building vintage command-line aesthetics in the browser. The template is hosted on GitHub, making it easy for developers to access, fork, and customize for their projects.

  Fresh – A new terminal editor built in RustDec 2025 · sinelaw.github.io · ▲187

  I built Fresh to challenge the status quo that terminal editing must require a steep learning curve or endless configuration. My goal was to create a fast, resource-efficient TUI editor with the usability and features of a modern GUI editor (like a command palette, mouse support, and LSP integration). Core Philosophy: - Ease-of-Use: Fundamentally non-modal.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
