About:
Hyper is an open-source terminal built on web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It leverages the Electron framework to provide a highly extensible and customizable command-line interface. Its main value proposition is a modern, hackable terminal that allows users to enhance functionality through plugins and themes.
Key Features:
  • Plugin-based architecture for easy extension
  • Customizable with CSS for complete UI control
  • Cross-platform support (macOS, Windows, Linux)
  • GPU-accelerated rendering for smooth performance
Use Cases:
  • Developers seeking a visually customizable terminal environment
  • Users who need specific plugins for workflow enhancements
Alternatives:
  • iTerm2 – More native and feature-rich for macOS, but less web-tech extensible
  • Windows Terminal – Microsoft's modern terminal with deep OS integration for Windows
