financial the ambition behind ghosty is really terminals are a really fundamental part of a software developer's life no matter what sort of ecosystem you're in whether it's web technologies desktop you know etc whether you're a student a professional basically all these dimensions terminals are very important and i don't see that going away and i sort of think like what

I don't feel like people have focused very hard on terminals. And can I sort of be that person for a while, the steward for a while, improve the ecosystem in some way, and sort of build a community that could then sort of carry that on later? But yeah, the real, I guess, to put it into one word, the real goal with Ghosty is impact. And to that end, I think that Windows support's important.

But more importantly, that's why libghosty is more important to me because I don't want ghosty to be the one and only terminal emulator application. I don't want to build an iOS application, an Android application, whatever future platforms exist. I want to enable others to do that without having to reinvent the core.

And so libghosty to me is like the actual impactful thing that's going to happen over the long term. And we could...

get into licensing later, but that's sort of part of the reason why we ended up on the MIT license as well as I really just wanted, whether you're going to be commercial or open source or whatever, whatever you wanted to do with lib ghost C, I really just wanted to enable that impact no matter what.

Yeah, it's a great example.

Yeah, it's a great example.

Thanks. Thanks. Yeah. I, you know, I don't, whatever people write on Wikipedia, if there is anybody, anything then, then fine. But I think that, you know, part of the way I've described ghosty is this idea of, of technical philanthropy.

And, and one of the things I know about myself is, you know, like I just love programming and I love building and I knew that wasn't going to stop no matter sort of how much career success I had or, or things like that. And so, my thinking was, if I'm going to spend time on the computer programming anyway, is there a way to make that time meaningful?

And, you know, I'm sure there's more directly meaningful ways that I could spend that time. But, you know, I felt that

And, you know, I'm sure there's more directly meaningful ways that I could spend that time. But, you know, I felt that

doing this broadly used category of software for free and and trying to make it good i guess for for a blunt term just good is yeah could be meaningful and so that's that's yeah it's definitely a part-time thing i don't spend 40 hours a week i spend barely maybe 10 or 15 on this and it's just the the way i could have fun and pursue my passion but still feel like i'm helping something
