// GPU-accelerated terminal inspired by ZedOSS

GitHub →

~/projects/rust-terminal❯cat README.md

A hobby project building a GPU-accelerated terminal emulator from scratch using Rust and the GPUI framework.

Inspired by Zed — an excellent example of a high-performance Rust application that pushes the boundaries of what native apps can feel like.

Tech Stack:

→ Rust — systems programming with safety guarantees
→ GPUI — Zed's GPU-accelerated UI framework
→ Metal — Apple's low-level graphics API
→ VTE — terminal state machine and ANSI parsing
→ portable-pty — cross-platform PTY abstraction

~/projects/rust-terminal❯cat why.md

Building a terminal from scratch is a great way to learn about PTYs, VT escape sequences, and GPU rendering.

It's also just fun to use software you built yourself every day.
