this is luxury not a need, its great for dev who want to customise their terminal if I'mm getting you right.

+1. was about to say the same thing.

even for devs, the one who loves to customize probably already has put effort into something, it would be nice to find a reason to convince them to migrate

Looks nice. Is "native" here AppKit/SwiftUI? Curious what you're drawing the grid with.

Yes, AppKit/SwiftUI, but there is also rust.

> Curious what you're drawing the grid with

Swift / Metal. I vibe coded a wgpu version for the grid, but then switched to Metal.

Love the way it looks, but sadly it's only Mac for now.

Thank you.

Linux / Windows is in plan, Otty will support those OS as well :)
