Shitty - Fast terminal with native GPU rendering

Show HN: Shitty – fast terminal. Memory-unsafe and faster than yours

Shitty is a terminal emulator that prioritizes speed and low latency. It keeps terminal state on the CPU and uses native compute backends (Vulkan on Linux, Metal on macOS) for rendering, achieving faster throughput than Alacritty, kitty, and Ghostty in benchmarks. It supports a wide range of terminal features, including VT5xx controls, Unicode grapheme clusters, 24-bit color, and various keyboard and mouse protocols. Built in C++23, it offers easy installation via Homebrew, Nix, or manual build. Despite its playful name, it's a serious tool for developers seeking maximum terminal performance.
