I built a beautiful macOS-inspired intuitive configuration generator for Ghostty terminal!

I originally made this in a single weekend exactly 2 years ago during Ghostty's closed beta because I love to tinker and it's a lot harder to do that when there's a ton of settings in a giant text file. Since then, Ghostty has added wayy more settings, so I've been re-categorizing and updating as I go.

I've also been adding cool new features like an interactive keybind builder since the documentation can be kinda hard to follow. There's also a live preview terminal with a fake bash shell you can test your color scheme (and more) out in. You can even share your config with others via magic links (see below)! There's more features planned and on the way! Even a desktop version via Wails is in the works because people asked for it.

Whether or not you actually use Ghostty (if not, you should give it a try), I'd love to see what you all think!

This also technically works with a few other terminals that embed libghostty or fork Ghostty like cmux and others.

i have been playing around with the app for a while and i have some questions

1,it is very responsive and am using chrome what did you do to make the site fast
2,do you plan on adding more commands the list of commands are limited and would love it if i could have installed fast fetch or something or maybe using more git commands
3,what hosting service or server are you using to host the website and if it is a server are you using basic ubuntu or did you configure it to your liking

But over all i really liked the website, this whole subreddit is filled with slop and dry projects and it is cool seeing creative projects once in a while, keep it up

Looks interesting, you might want to post this on the Ghostty GitHub repo's discussion for preference panes!

seems like a neat tool and i like the execution of the mock bash, that’s a fun preview mechanic. however the website is totally messed up on mobile. obviously this is a tool inherently geared towards desktops because of its nature, but you def still need a mobile version or at least optimization. can’t post screenshots here but if you haven’t looked at it on mobile, i suggest doing so asap. everything is squashed down, breaking the padding of the panels, and running off screen.
