alt Hacker NewsShow HN: My Terminal Themes Web App
Well, after 15 years of saying "Someday I'll turn this into a web app," I finally did it!
I've been maintaining a popular repo of terminal themes at https://github.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes, and it was finally time to build the app with all the features I wanted!
So, the next-gen version is live at https://terminalthemes.com! It currently has over 800 themes, and provides downloads for close to 40 different formats (iTerm, Ghostty, Windows, and many more)
It's free for everyone. An account is not needed to browse and download, but registering for an account (free) allows you to vote, bookmark, submit themes, etc.
I focused on a11y features for those who need it, in addition to adding Find My Theme and other tools to make it easy to find something you like!
Live terminal and code previews help show a more realistic view of the terminal, as opposed to the ANSI screenshots used at the GitHub repository. Those are still there, for those who like them.
I would love for you guys to check it out and provide feedback, feature suggestions, whatever!
And a huge thanks to the community of people that have contributed themes, ports to other terminals, and tools to provide conversions between formats over the years.
Oh! And if you've ever contributed themes to the GitHub repo, please register for an account, find your theme(s), and hit the Claim Authorship button!

Awesome. I would make the themes much more visible on the main feed so that you can scroll through them on the phone and get a good impression. For me they were way too small so you end up entering every page to get a better glimpse.

Oh my. I have been using that repo and the themes on any new computer I have setup in the past 8-10 years at least (can't remember exactly, this repo is older than my career). I tried finding alternatives. While some worked, I have seen myself coming back to this repo again and again. Thank you for maintaining it for so long.
