+----
+
+**Terminus** is a web technology based terminal heavily inspired by Hyper. It is, however, designed for people who need to get things done.
+
+  * Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux
+  * Theming and color schemes
+  * Configurable hotkey schemes
+  * **GNU Screen** style hotkeys available by default
+  * Full Unicode support including double-width characters
+  * Doesn't choke on fast-flowing outputs
+  * Tab persistence on macOS and Linux
+  * Proper shell-like experience on Windows including tab completion (thanks, Clink!)
+  * CMD, PowerShell and Bash on Windows support
