Project Description: Wave Terminal

What is the project about?

Wave Terminal is an open-source terminal emulator that combines traditional terminal features with graphical capabilities.

What problem does it solve?

It addresses the constant context switching between terminals and browsers during development by integrating graphical tools (file previews, web browsing, AI assistance) directly into the terminal.

What are the features of the project?

• Flexible drag & drop interface for organizing terminal blocks, editors, web browsers, and AI assistants.
• Built-in editor for remote files with syntax highlighting.
• Rich file preview system for various file types (markdown, images, video, PDFs, CSVs, directories).
• Integrated AI chat with support for multiple models (OpenAI, Claude, Azure, Perplexity, Ollama).
• Command Blocks for isolating and monitoring commands.
• One-click remote connections with terminal and file system access.
• Rich customization options (themes, styles, background images).
• wsh command system for workspace management and data sharing.

What are the technologies used in the project? The README does not explicitly list all technologies, but mentions:

• Runs on: macOS, Linux, Windows.

What are the benefits of the project?

• Increased productivity by reducing context switching.
• Streamlined workflow by integrating graphical tools into the terminal.
• Enhanced development experience with features like file previews and AI assistance.

What are the use cases of the project?

• Modern software development involving frequent use of documentation, file previews, system monitoring, and AI tools.
• Remote development with seamless file editing and terminal access.
• Any task that benefits from combining command-line operations with visual interfaces.
