An Open-Source Canvas Terminal Manager Hit 584 Upvotes on r/ClaudeAI — and the Auto-Generated Thread Summary Says Power Users Rejected It Over the Mouse
A solo builder shipped a Claude-built terminal manager that puts persistent local and SSH sessions on a single canvas, survives disconnects with layout intact, resumes from phone, has git operations built in, and — the interesting part — lets terminals share context so one session can be told to 'act as the orchestrator' for other Claude Code sessions. r/ClaudeAI's mod bot auto-posted a consensus summary after 100 comments: the visual orchestration impressed people and one commenter called it 'the opposite of AI slop,' but the top comment roasted it as looking 'like a parody of computer programming in a movie,' and the substantive objections were that a terminal manager requiring a mouse is a dealbreaker, that `Ctrl-W` closes a window instead of deleting a word, and that nobody explained what it offers over a tuned tmux. The 'ADHD' branding also drew side-eye. The author says he is stalled without a sponsor.
