I have a niche use case of wishing for font size support ala kitty and markdown files.

Congrats on the release. I use libghostty-vt in my winui3 session manager and it works really well.

Really enjoy using ghostty but I've switched mostly back to konsole for only one reason: memory usage. I'll reevaluate, after reading this!

It finally fixed the tab bugs in MacOS 27 that had a beta release in June.

The update experience in Ghostty is great. I think it takes under 5 seconds from the moment you click accept update and until the new updated terminal is running.

If I am not mistaken, this is like another iTerm-like app. These tools have access to the innards of your system, like a VPN tool with access to all your connections. How do you trust, or build trust with, tools like these? How do you know whether the actor (s) behind them have malicious intent? Do you always build from an open-source project yourself? Is it a solution or the solution?

I use suckless terminal because the entire terminal is 4888 lines of C (including comments). Builds immediately. Starts immediately. Does everything I need it to do.
Have several running; resident set size between 10MB and 19MB.
Start with the person that is instrumental in this - Mitchell Hashimoto - you probably use products built on top of or with his tooling somewhere in your daily life already without knowing it. https://mitchellh.com/
I suspect you're getting down voted on this as it feels like this is a failure to educate yourself on something that feels like it should be relatively easy to do so in less time than it took to type your message.

Wait until it is packaged for your distro. It should be vetted then.
If on Mac/Win, you should be used to trusting notarized apps after a cooldown period.

any idea why people downvoting a legit question? what's wrong with them ?
Reply and then downvote, but silently downvoting ? not a real men, hiding behind their keyboard :)

I've put libghostty in my bespoke IDEs and it's fantastic, thanks so much for all your hard work and vision.

Ghostty was using 2gb of ram the other day - I switched back to iTerm and it's now 200mb.

In my experience Ghostty consumed much less RAM but when being used Ghosstty used much more. In similar scenarios/usage.

Libghostty is a masterpiece dude. So easy to embed, nice bindings, and it's so fast.
