The source code is locked behind a login though. Is that intentional?

Edit: just the web view is locked. Read the homepage, it tells you how to access the code (be respectful though, don't hug the site to death)

In short: it's a terminal emulator where rendering is completely run by GL ES compute shaders. It allows for GPU-accelerated performance on low-end SBCs.

Said to be very stable, runs for months, compliant enough to run Emacs with mouse support.

I’ve used this but it made my laptop spontaneously reboot a few times (or was it a hard lockup that necessitated a reboot)? I liked it but ended up putting it away.

Dual GPU nvidia and integrated Intel, was running the latest Ubuntu LTS at the time with all updates.

eek what? That shouldn't happen on a modern OS, unless the cpu spiked so hot the computer decided the best course is a reboot.

Typically it's a RAM issue, or power stability issue or a graphics card issue/firmware causing instant reboots

sadly, not an ASR33 teletype emulator. I miss my teletype, it got broken in an office move. chonka-chonka-chonka-chonka-chonka-chonka----chonka TING
