TermKit is a re-imagined next generation Terminal and a set of unix tools that try to bridge the gap between CLI and GUI. The app can display and manipulate any kind of content a modern HTML5 browser can handle. Fancy previews, transitions, animations and a powerful Node.js based backend brings the magic back to the terminal.
If you want to try out TermKit, you need to setup Node.js and Node-Mime yourself.
Install Node.js
You can find a ready to install package at https://sites.google.com/site/nodejsmacosx/.
Just download and install it.
Install Node-Mime
Open a (Standard) Terminal and run:
npm install mimeDownload TermKit from GIT
git clone https://github.com/unconed/TermKit.git --recursiveRun the NodeKit daemon
cd TermKit/Node; node nodekit.jsRun TermKit
Open a Finder, go to the TermKit/build directory, extract the TermKit.zip and run TermKit.app
If you close the Terminal running NodeKit, TermKit will no longer work.
The application is currently in a very early alpha stage and its by no means a full Terminal replacement but its a interesting project which you should keep an eye on.
It currently works only on Mac OS X, but it should be easy to port it to Linux or any other Unix system.

Looking at the notes, it looks like you're right. An easy conversion into an open source OS. When that time comes, I'll be on it like white on rice. :)
always useful
I'll have to take a look when I'm being geeky!
So many handy apps! thanks for the share.
I've been gone for a bit, but I love what you've done with the place since I've been gone!

Oh~ that looks pretty nice. Not a big-time terminal usr, but may still look into it

too compleexxxxx haha.
The GUI aspect of it looks very useful.
Thanks :)
Hopefully won't be long before cross platform is readily available.
Very nice and I'm ready for it now thanks
Anything involving a terminal window is awesome.
Is it possible to port to windows? I'd raelly like that!
Looks sweet

Might come in useful, thanks!
That's pretty cool, I'm kinda tired of the complex text terminal
