Why I built a local terminal workspace instead of using tmux

Osman Bineev — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 05:59:43 +0000

I wanted a terminal workspace that behaves more like a normal desktop app.

Something that:

keeps tabs and splits
restores layout and working directories after restart
uses normal Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V with the system clipboard

I tried tmux for a while and realized it solves a different problem.

It’s great for remote sessions, long-lived processes, and connection resilience. But my workflow is strictly local. I don’t need to keep processes alive or reconnect to sessions — I just want a workspace with predictable behavior.

I also didn’t like the configuration model. Getting comfortable meant setting options, remembering configs, and often adding plugins. For a personal tool, that felt like unnecessary overhead.

So I built a small tool around this idea:

https://github.com/algebrain/mtrm

It runs local shells, supports tabs and splits, restores layout and working directories on restart, and keeps things simple.

If you’ve built your own terminal setup or found a different approach, I’d be curious to hear about it.

Writing a plugin for the Faqtor task runner

Writing a plugin for Faqtor is a simple and straightforward process. Schematically, it looks like this (TypeScript code):

import * as faqtor from “faqtor”; 

export const createFactor = (....arguments): faqtor.IFactor => {

    const run = async (): Promise<Error> => {
        ....do some work here
    }

    return factor.func(run);
}

Let us examine this with the example of the faqtor-of-rollup plugin, intended, as the name implies, to use Rollup bundler in our projects. Continue reading

Since my last posting about HyperOOP, I have received many complaints about the Readme file. Now the file is more complete and (I hope) clearly describes the framework.

Faqtor is Promise-based task runner / build automation system for the NodeJS ecosystem. Existing plugins support rollup, uglify-js, browser-sync, handlebars and some other tools. I would appreciate any feedback or support.
