@ -144,16 +144,23 @@ In addition to being a standalone terminal emulator, Ghostty is a
C-compatible library for embedding a fast, feature-rich terminal emulator
in any 3rd party project. This library is called `libghostty`.
This goal is not hypothetical! The macOS app is a `libghostty` consumer.
Due to the scope of this project, we're breaking libghostty down into
separate actually libraries, starting with `libghostty-vt`. The goal of
this project is to focus on parsing terminal sequences and maintaining
terminal state. This is covered in more detail in this
[blog post](https://mitchellh.com/writing/libghostty-is-coming).
`libghostty-vt` is already available and usable today for Zig and C and
is compatible for macOS, Linux, Windows, and WebAssembly. At the time of
writing this, the API isn't stable yet and we haven't tagged an official
release, but the core logic is well proven (since Ghostty uses it) and
we're working hard on it now.
The ultimate goal is not hypothetical! The macOS app is a `libghostty` consumer.
The macOS app is a native Swift app developed in Xcode and `main()` is
within Swift. The Swift app links to `libghostty` and uses the C API to
render terminals.
This step encompasses expanding `libghostty` support to more platforms
and more use cases. At the time of writing this, `libghostty` is very
Mac-centric -- particularly around rendering -- and we have work to do to
expand this to other platforms.
