Partial The workspace, split-pane, and theming UI is standard app work, but a fast, correct terminal emulator with GPU text rendering across Linux and macOS is a hard systems problem that vibe coding alone won't produce.
What it would actually take: Build in Rust on existing crates such as alacritty_terminal or vte for emulation, with wgpu or Metal for rendering, portable-pty for shells, and a serialized layout store for session restore. The hard parts are VT/xterm escape-sequence fidelity, input and font-rendering latency, and cross-platform PTY behavior. This needs a developer with systems and graphics experience.
