Mitchell could have easily snuck his competing product Rex in there but resisted. Respect.

I like Rex and have started using it and its replacing Ghostty for me. This has made me a bit confused: is the intent for Rex to replace Ghostty? not sure when I would use one vs the other yet

		AFAIK he said that Ghostty was like a technical demo of libghostty

		Ghostty- maybe, but not libghostty.

		I suspect Ghostty is to Rex what Chromium is to Google Chrome (without all the negative connotations that is, I’m a happy Rex user!): both something of a tech demo for libghostty, and an open source, basic-but-fully-featured terminal emulator. Rex, then, will possibly be a paid product at some point, and adds features like the server, agent integration, and persistent session management on top. If you had asked me two years ago if I was ready to pay for my terminal and quit my jetbrains subscription, I’d have laughed. Now I’m earnestly ready for that if Superlogical were to announce a paid plan.

I'd be happy there even if he did, maybe there's a delayed schedule for Rex to be publicly available.

Would be some serious 4d chess if you were his sockpuppet account.

		lol now that I read it back it might seem like that. I’m just a Mitchell Stan.

		After watching "You can see everything" I now have to stop and think rather than just laughing at your commment.

That's because he doesn't have a product yet

I’m using the beta. So far so good. I’m swapping between that and Herdr. Anyone who writes macOS apps take notes on Rex’s onboarding. It was so easy to enable/grant permissions.

		The whole app is so incredibly satisfying and feels polished, down to every last button and animation. Buttery smooth, feels completely native. Better than some first-party macOS apps IMHO.

No, he does, and it's extremely good. It's completely replaced herdr for me and I run it on Linux (server), macOS, and my iPhone. I've yet to run into a bug. Access is being controlled via Discord and TestFlight - you can find the link to apply on their site.
