I've been working on Stećak, a lightweight terminal emulator inspired by Ghostty and Alacritty.
The idea came from stećci (singular: stećak), monumental medieval stone tombstones found across Bosnia and Herzegovina and neighboring parts of the Balkans. They have distinctive geometric carvings, symbols, and shapes that I've always found fascinating.
I wanted to build a terminal that takes inspiration from that heritage while remaining focused on what matters in a terminal emulator: simplicity, speed, and a lightweight experience.
The project is still a work in progress, and I'm sharing it to get feedback from people who know terminals and systems programming better than I do.

I'd love feedback on the technical direction, what you'd expect from a modern lightweight terminal, and whether there's anything interesting here beyond the visual identity.
