I saw some buzz about this yesterday. I'm not sure I understand what this is.
Is this a text console to a "web app" server (node) that can serve and process HTML/CSS/JS?
It's a console/terminal implemented using Electron.
Electron being based on the Chromium browser and Node.js, and designed for creating cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies.
So what Hyper brings I suppose is an extremely extensible, open-source, cross-platform terminal that uses npm for extensions. It has multiple tabs and all that good stuff. Want each tab to show the current path? Write an extension and package it up on npm.
For me however the fact that it looks cool is enough.
