Hyperlinks (a.k.a. HTML-like anchors) in terminal emulators

[ Update 2020-05-31: I won't be maintaining this page or responding to comments anymore (except for perhaps a few exceptional occasions). ]

---

Most of the terminal emulators auto-detect when a URL appears onscreen and allow to conveniently open them (e.g. via Ctrl+click or Cmd+click, or the right click menu).

It was, however, not possible until now for arbitrary text to point to URLs, just as on webpages.

rondy

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Cryptographic Best Practices

Putting cryptographic primitives together is a lot like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, where all the pieces are cut exactly the same way, but there is only one correct solution. Thankfully, there are some projects out there that are working hard to make sure developers are getting it right.

The following advice comes from years of research from leading security researchers, developers, and cryptographers. This Gist was [forked from Thomas Ptacek's Gist][1] to be more readable. Additions have been added from

Strictly Frameworks

• Mobiledoc - github.com/bustle/mobiledoc-kit - framework to build editors with a standardized JSON structure
• ShareDB - github.com/share/sharedb - framework to sync any JSON document using operational transforms, add real-time collaborative editing to anything else
• Bangle.dev - github.com/bangle-io/bangle.dev - toolkit built for building editors, based on prosemirror

Abstracted Editors

These use separate document structures instead of HTML, some are more modular libraries than full editors
