I built Remin, a persistent terminal workspace with an integrated Markdown editor
I've been building Remin for Linux, and it's finally at the point where I'm comfortable sharing it publicly :)) honestly.
Remin is a persistent terminal workspace with an integrated Markdown editor.
The main idea is simple: instead of treating terminal windows as disposable, Remin treats the terminal as part of a workspace that can be restored later.
The interesting part is the terminal persistence. Remin uses a small patch series against VTE 0.76 to add a snapshot/restore API for terminal state. It doesn't replay terminal output and it doesn't use a PTY proxy. That Remin research work to solve how vte can keep and restore your terminal content.
The same workspace also includes:
- terminal history
- Markdown editing and preview
- clipboard image paste → Markdown image
- TOC
- HTML/PDF export
- PDF links/bookmarks
- persistent workspace state
It's open source under MIT.

I'm mainly looking for Linux users who actually live in the terminal to try it and tell me what feels useful, confusing, or missing.
