Term Kitchen

A terminal colourscheme editor

  • Languages: JavaScript (with JSX), Sass, HTML
  • Libraries: React, Bluebird, Reflux

Before Term Kitchen there was a severe lack of terminal colour scheme editors available. People would need to spend hours copy/pasting hex codes into their text editor. Finding new schemes required editing of term configs before you could see how the scheme looked. Themes were shared using the terminal specific configuration which was time consuming to get working in another terminal emulator.

Term Kitchen solves all these problems and more.
