While I have nothing against the writer of this post and I don’t care if they decided to use their terminal within their web browser, I do believe this is yet another example of how we broke our use of computer and the web in general…

« Everything should be a web app » is just a very bad idea for so many reasons that I’m too tired to enumerate here. A side effect is seeing so many CLI/TUI application developped in JS/Typescript/NodeJS.

I don’t want to only use a web browser at all, I want more “desktop software” doing their job well, even if they are connected to web services to do their job… My window manager is then here to manage window and workspace the way I like. I have already too many tabs open in my web browser (even though I’m using readeck (read-it-later) and linkding (bookmark manager)) to add all my terminal windows in there too.

Useless rant, but I had to say it anyway :-).
