So I was thinking 26.3 will be me "my" version of Tahoe. But I'll just leave Tahoe out completly.
Absolutely. Hoping 27 winds all of this back but maybe we’re waiting until 28, or 29… or maybe this is just how it is forever now.

I see these acquisitions as a reset. They spend a huge sum to acquire established, but struggling, products and strip the size of the company to the minimum required to keep it operating. This is very much the Musk model.
At this point they have stopped the cash bleeding and made profit margins healthy again. From there they can more easily rationalise how to take it forward over the next 5-10 years.
That might mean stripping unpopular product features, rebranding, going upmarket, whatever.
It’s a real shame for all the staff, of course, but from a business point of view it’s going to be interesting to see how it plays out.
I love to pay for something and feel like I own it somehow. Lifetime deal feels like that. So I opt for it in most cases.
Ok that’s good to know thanks. With Pagecord it’s already open source so you can always have the code, and you can export content in markdown or HTML any time. I always imagined that would be enough…?
Founder here. Interested to hear how people think about 'lifetime' SaaS deals. Probably some positive experiences alongside some negative ones?
I got excited at the headline of this post because I love the idea of community maintained personal site directories. Was disappointed to get into the description and linked Git repository and learn that it's only for sites that have gotten some traction on hacker news before. Was hoping it would be a way to stumble upon potentially underrepresented content from folks in the hacker news community who don't normally get attention.
This is probably a "me" problem for assuming otherwise (you even have HN in your URL), but it's not what I expected from a post asking people to share their personal websites.
edit: judging by the number of personal website links posted here that do not meet that criteria, it appears I was not the only one with the wrong impression.

I built Feedgrab, a 100% free web-based RSS reader.
“RSS. Nothing more, nothing less”
I’m building Pagecord: “Blog without the slog”.
To goal is to make you write more. Tonnes of features, including posting by email (my favourite way to blog).
I love blogging and I want more people to go back to writing on their own blog and reduce time on the socials. It seems to be striking a chord with people.
Free classic plan, bargain premium plan at only $29/year.

First, libghostty is _way more exciting_ nowadays. It is already backing more than a dozen terminal projects that are free and commercial: https://github.com/Uzaaft/awesome-libghostty I think this is the real future of Ghostty and I've said this since my first public talk on Ghostty in 2023: the real goal is a diverse ecosystem of terminal emulators that aim to solve specific terminal usage but all based on a shared, stable, feature-rich, high performant core. It's happening! More details what libghostty is here: https://mitchellh.com/writing/libghostty-is-coming
I suspect by the middle of 2027, the number of people using Ghostty via libghostty will dwarf the number of users that actually use the Ghostty GUI. This is a win on all sides, because more libghostty usage leads to more stable Ghostty GUI too (since Ghostty itself is... of course... a libghostty consumer). We've already had many bugs fixed sourced by libghostty embedders.
On the GUI front Ghostty the apps are still getting lots of new features and are highly used. Ghostty the macOS app gets around one million downloads per week (I have no data on Linux because I don't produce builds). I'm sure a lot of that is automated but it's still a big number. I have no telemetry in Ghostty to give more detailed notes. I have some data from big 3rd party TUI apps with telemetry that show Ghostty as their biggest user base but that is skewed towards people consuming newer TUIs tend to use newer terminals. The point is: lots of people use it, its proven in the real world, and we're continuing to improve it big time.
Ghostty 1.3 is around the corner, literally a week or two away, and will bring some critically important features like search (cmd+f), scrollbars, and dozens more. In addition to GUI features it ships some big improvements to VT functionality, as always.
Organizationally, Ghostty is now backed by a non-profit organization: https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-non-profit And just this past week we signed our first 4 contributor contracts to pay contributors real money! Our finances are all completely public and transparent online. This is to show the commitment I have to making Ghostty non-commercial and non-reliant on me (the second part over time).
That's a 10,000 foot overview of what's going on. Exciting times in Ghostty land. :) Happy to answer any big questions.
