opsty, a terminal that shows its state
An open-source terminal for SSH-heavy operations work, with session status, command blocks, output lenses, hosts, and tunnels.
- For
- Operators who spend their days in SSH sessions
- Worth noticing
- It preserves raw terminal bytes while composing Docker, health JSON, and log output into filterable views.
Field notes
The project describes a terminal built around OSC 133 prompt marks, allowing it to separate commands and output without taking over zle, readline, fzf, or vim mode. Its proposed lenses recognize Docker Compose status, health JSON, and structured logs, while raw bytes remain in scrollback for copying and search. The page identifies a phase 0 Electron, xterm.js, and node-pty spike, and says the first build’s memory and input-latency measurements are not yet available.
