It's been 4 months since the last update. I've included new terminals monstar, shitty / pretty + termy. Rio is now the highest rated Rust based terminal. monstar is a new libghostty based terminal written in Zig by @rockorager.dev and it is amazing

Updated ucs-detect table. Ghostty which now supports unicode 17 (github.com/ghostty-org/...) and has pulled away from the pack. There is an issue with Kitty where image support is not being detected. Zutty and st so far down on the table I've omitted from the screenshot

I build a bunch of Rust stuff from source and was manually updating `rust-version` in Cargo.toml Good opportunity to use plan mode in Claude Code to build a Zig tool that traverses a folder and updates. Fast and even has a `--dry-run` flag. Fun #claudecode

Re-ran since the update to remove Sixel support from the scores - github.com/jquast/ucs-d.... Updated foot, ghostty, kitty, wezterm, alacritty, rio, st & zutty. Latest contour crashes on the ucs-detect update run

Likely that GitHub will continue to be below average. I'm hoping more folks go to @tangled.org or @ersc.io or @radicle.xyz or something else

I'm thinking of an Enterprise deployment using managed settings constructed by an Admin and pushed to where the coding agent runs. Agree that few independent users will bother

The more I use the terminal based Chawan browser, the less I appreciate blogs that can't load without all sorts of React & JavaScript fuckery. A case in point from the Hacker News front page today - shafi.ddns.net/blog/customi.... Boo

Both Claude Code and Factory's Droid have the same readelf. I was wondering what was being used to build the binaries. Thanks for the confirmation

Trying to work out if referring to Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Factory Droid, OpenCode, AmpCode as "harnesses" is going to confuse a somewhat technical, but more senior exec audience. I think it'll confuse them & am leaning towards "coding agent". Paging @simonwillison.net

Zig 0.15.2 rollout has been a roller coaster. Released, withdrawn, re-released, mistaken breaking changes and still no release notes. flow and ghostty have updated to allow building at least

Michael P. @m17e.co · 06/10/2025

Noticed the cgroup initialization wasn't working on Ghostty for Linux since the move to Zig 0.15.1. Jumped on Discord, Mitchell provided a tip on where to look, Claude Code had a go and fixed it and a senior maintainer reviewed and PR created. Nice

Not sure if this is your issue, but the non-intuitive thing, at least for me, is the you only specific the font families, not the family and style

Very slow #ziglang rollout. Release notes at ziglang.org/download/0.1... went up yesterday. Bits still not on a release at github.com/ziglang/zig/... + no post release master branch bits at ziglang.org/download/.

Engrosed in the chawan terminal TUI browser. Very cool. I have images on, JavaScript off and I've worked out my Foot terminal config to use Berkeley Mono as the default font with Maple Mono as the italic font. I'm a big Ghostty fan but am finding better rendering with Foot for Chawan use
