Layout demos (try it)
Intent
Open Terminal is a multi-mode host. The HCI-Nerdz shell-context-demo is a facsimile desk for those modes: enough chrome to feel the workflow, not a fake OS window manager.
Real windowing stays in open-terminal / dew.
Catalog
| Demo | How it fits a real workflow | Open |
|---|---|---|
Prompt desk |
You type; path / user / host / app tokens stay visible so you always know which project and machine you are on. |
|
Standalone |
Classic Terminal-like: tabs and the live session share one window. Several shells for one job without scattering windows. |
|
Decoupled index |
A calling window holds tabs and thumbnails; each live session is a separate window you focus and arrange. Launcher separate from the panes you watch. |
|
Project manager |
Terminals spawned from DevCentr projects sit in a vertical, project-grouped manager. The DevCentr grid highlights the owning project and dulls the rest. |
|
Nested zones |
Sessions tile inside zone windows that stay inside the app. Spawn or delete a zone; group membership stays stable when the display moves — contained tiling, not an OS WM. |
|
Association |
A running session registers with another UI (index or manager) and can offer thumbnails. Re-associate supervision without killing the work. |
