Shpool, a Lightweight Tmux Alternative

In plain words

Shpool is a terminal session persistence tool that keeps remote terminal sessions running even after disconnecting. Developed internally at Google and now open source, it serves developers who work remotely or across multiple machines. It functions as a lightweight alternative to tmux, designed specifically to maintain workflow continuity in terminal-based development environments.

  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…
