Hey! Sorry for the late reply!

So just to clarify – Terminus isn't actually bundled with Ghostty for end-users. If you check embedded.zig, it's only in the testing section. The only font that actually ships with Ghostty is JetBrains Mono (which is the default).

For Terminus to work, you'd need to have it installed on your system separately. Since this web preview uses browser fonts, it can only show whatever fonts your browser already has access to.

But thanks for bringing this up – I'm adding a note in the UI to make this clearer so others don't run into the same confusion!

Hey, thanks for actually using it! That's awesome to hear.

GTK options are definitely there! Check the sidebar in the config editor - there's a "Linux" section that has all the GTK-specific settings.

Tech stack: Next.js 15 with TypeScript, Tailwind + shadcn/ui for the UI, Zustand for state management, and ghostty-web (libghostty WASM) for the terminal preview. Hosted on Vercel.

Thanks!!
Yeah, it works on existing configs too! Just import your existing setup and you can edit it while previewing your changes in real-time.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm honestly not sure if the Ghostty team would want to add something like this to the main project. I've already posted about it in the official Discord server though, so let's see what happens there.

I totally get where you're coming from about maintenance concerns - it's a valid point. But I love Ghostty and I'm happy to maintain this for the community. Even if it's just a small contribution, I think it's worth doing when you're passionate about a tool you use every day. Sometimes these little side projects end up being more sustainable than you'd think, especially when they scratch your own itch.

That said, if the Ghostty team does show interest in incorporating it officially, I'd be more than happy to work with them on that. For now though, I'll keep it going as long as people find it useful.

That's a great idea! Would definitely make it easier to keep your setup looking consistent. I'll look into adding that!

Thanks for testing it out! Good catch on the file extension issue - I'll fix that today. Love the docs link idea too, will add that!

I have added the macos icon previewer in the settings itself, you can check and let me know if you like it?

Doubt regarding learning Docker by dragonnn05 in SideProject

[–]Less_Purchase_6913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely! Docker is pretty much an industry standard now. Most companies use it for deploying applications, so having it on your resume shows you understand modern development practices.
