Terminal emulators

This cluster consists of terminal emulators for various desktop environments and use cases, ranging from simple and lightweight to drop-down and desktop-integrated. Entries appeared sporadically from September 2015 to July 2026, typically one per month with no clear trend. The traction leaders, lume-bin, cosmic-ext-quake-terminal, and Yakuake, all have zero stars, indicating minimal community activity.

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 18 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
