Ive been iterating on this idea for a few months now and dont want to divulge too much but ill tease it here: everyone is trying to rebuild the multiplexer but are doing it using the in-band ansi bytestream.

Fundamentally this is the wrong abstraction and it is painful to develop modern terminal features on top of it.

We need a terminal compositor protocol. We need to leave the pty behind and replace it with a unix socket. What other compositing protocols exist in the modern tech stack that we could extend?

Anyone can feel free to reach out to me if they want to chat about it: https://bower.sh
