    Hi HN. I built Waffle because I kept ending up with 15 terminal windows scattered across three spaces with no idea what was running where. Splitting/merging in iTerm kind of works but it never felt intuitive to me.

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…
