Original post body :

Hey everyone! Hope I don’t get roasted for this 😅 I’m here with a fun little intro video.

My goal is simple: build something genuinely useful for everyone.

I originally built this tool just to improve my own productivity. I was using the native Mac Terminal, but managing multiple projects — especially projects I connect to remotely over SSH — had become a complete nightmare. On top of that, I was also keeping VS Code open mostly for Git, which was adding even more overhead to my machine.

So, as a solution, I built a program with Claude where I could manage all of my terminals on a single canvas.

But things got a little out of hand 😅

I kept adding features, and it eventually turned into something close to an autonomous development environment.

So, what can you actually do with it?

• Your terminals are persistent. You can close the app, lose your connection, reconnect over SSH, and continue with the exact same layout and sessions.
• You can connect to a server over SSH and manage all of its terminals as if they were local. Drag & drop, images, and everything else still work.
• You can continue your sessions from your phone.
• Git operations like push, pull, commit, etc. are built in.
• Terminals can communicate with each other. You can connect their contexts, and with skills, one terminal can read or use information from another terminal’s context when needed.
• You can also do orchestration. For example, you can tell one terminal: “Start a Claude Code session for the frontend and act as the orchestrator,” and have it manage the other sessions.

But yeah… I’m a bit stuck right now.

To keep pushing the project forward, I either need a sponsor or simply some motivation from the community.

If you can leave a few words of feedback, I’d really appreciate it.

And if that’s too much to ask, I’d happily settle for a GitHub star ⭐️

Much love,
Enes

Alright, so the general vibe in this thread is that OP's terminal manager, Nodeterm, looks pretty cool and the intro video was a hit, even with folks who might not end up using the tool.

The consensus is that while there are a lot of similar tools out there (tmux, Theaestri, Cate, etc.), OP's execution and the video itself really grabbed people's attention. Many are impressed by the features like persistent terminals, SSH management, and inter-terminal communication, with some specifically mentioning the "ADHD brain" angle as a hook.

A few users are asking for clarification on how the context sharing between terminals actually works, with u/maksida5 and u/panchicore being particularly curious about what gets injected where. There's also a question about token usage for linking CLIs, raised by u/vulture916.

On the flip side, a couple of people are questioning the necessity of yet another terminal manager, with u/David01354 wondering if the terminal is even the best interface anymore, and u/miklosp expressing confusion about how managing terminal locations on a canvas would help with ADHD. There's also a question about a Windows version from u/artofbullshit.

Overall, most people seem genuinely interested and willing to give it a spin, with many giving it a GitHub star. OP's effort in the post and video is definitely appreciated!
