CLUSTER CROSS-EMULATOR-TERMINAL · 24 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2018-05-29

Terminal emulators and CLI tools

This cluster consists of terminal emulators, SSH clients, command managers, and terminal-embedding libraries, mostly cross-platform with a few X11-specific entries. Entries span from 2010 to mid-2026, with sparse early activity and a greater number in 2023-2026, including four in July 2026. Senju-term leads on activity with 1 star, while lumina-terminal-bin and termua-bin have 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
