Summary

Here’s a summary of the website content:

The website introduces hterm, a terminal emulator designed for performance and features. Key aspects include:

* Rendering: Uses WebGPU for a deterministic 60fps experience via a GPU canvas.
* Architecture: Built with a Rust kernel and TypeScript parser, utilizing WASM for efficiency and escape sequence parsing.
* Features: Offers full keyboard/mouse/IME support, a deterministic buffer diff system, and a bundle size of 3.4 MB (WASM) to 800 KB (JS emulator only). It supports various input models and advanced features like alpha blending and a minimal API. Testing is done with deterministic golden checksums and screenshot diffs.

The comparison section details how hterm stacks up against other terminal emulators like FrankenTUI, xterm.js, and hterm, highlighting differences in rendering, architecture, and feature sets.
