I declare Otty my new favorite terminal tool! Absolutely love it — no surprise it’s from the Typora team!! So many human-centric details, gorgeous, and native!! I’ve already uninstalled cmux and Alacritty. Go download it now — if you uninstall it, I’ll eat my keyboard live!! https://t.co/yLH9tdto7c
