horizon

I honestly don't get the deal with Warp. Ttyphoon does look interesting, but it's at least 3 years old and still alpha; doesn't inspire much confidence to be used as anything more than a toy. But then again I've been using Horizon[0] since its debut here, despite encountering some alpha edges. Made a few changes, and now working on a port of it to Python. But again generally I really don't see these projects going the "full" distance as the processing to presentation pipeline is already generally solved. [0] https://github.com/peters/horizon

I've always found tabs to be pretty limiting, though I have a ton of them in Firefox and Konsole since that's what's - been - available. They're marginal improvement over multiple windows. Then Horizon[0] came on the scene a few weeks ago and I fell in love with that infinite canvas. Started tweaking it like crazy, but now I'm working on a full port that natively supports Xpra[1], so I can have all my apps on an infinite canvas with views grouped exactly as I prefer. And that's the future IMO. [0] https://github.com/peters/horizon [1] https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/

v0.2.0 binaries just landed: https://github.com/peters/horizon/releases/tag/v0.2.0

Splitting across multiple screens support just landed: https://github.com/peters/horizon/pull/32

Zoom support just landed: https://github.com/peters/horizon/pull/27

Yes, though it’s still early days. You can install it from crates.io with cargo install horizon-ui or grab a prebuilt binary from https://github.com/peters/horizon/releases/tag/untagged-0e65... Each commit to main also produces downloadable unsigned binaries in the GitHub Actions tab.

These are incredible new superpowers. The LLMs let us do far far more than we could before. But it creates information glut, doesn't come with in built guards to prevent devolution from setting in. It feels unsurprising but also notable that a third of what folks are suddenly building is harness/prompting/coordination systems, because it's all trying to adapt & figure out process shapes for using these new superpowers well in. There's some VC money interest but I'd classify more than 9 / 10ths of it as good old fashioned wildcat open source interest. Because it's fascinating and amazing, because it helps us direct our attention & steer our works. And also it's so much more approachable and interesting, now that it's all tmux terminal stuff. It's so much more direct & hackable than, say, wading into vscode extension building, deep in someo

Tabs, splits, and tmux work fine until you have several projects open with logs, tests, and long-running shells. I kept rebuilding context instead of resuming work. Horizon puts shells on an infinite canvas. You can arrange them into workspaces and reopen later with layout, scrollback, and history intact. Built in 3 days with Claude/Codex, dogfooding the workflow as I went. Feedback and contributions welcome.
