It took us years to finally release Terminalski! We had Token2Shell as our core terminal emulator product, but instead of using the same name, we decided to retire Token2Shell and launch a brand-new app, Terminalski.
We have a long history with Token2Shell as it was the app that got us started as a company. It was initially developed as a native Win32 desktop app and expanded to Windows Phone and Mobile platforms. We were planning on merging all those platforms with Universal Windows Platform (UWP), but it did not go as planned...
We later realized that some core features in Token2Shell cannot work properly under UWP. UWP creates a sandboxed environment for apps, and it caused unexpected restrictions for Token2Shell. We tried various workarounds, but we were not able to completely overcome the problems. UWP is now succeeded by Windows App SDK and WinUI, but it still poses similar challenges to the features we want to offer in our terminal emulator.
All in all, our new Terminalski is now based on .NET platform and completely out of UWP. As Token2Shell went too deep with UWP, it would be confusing for us developers as well as our users to continue using the name Token2Shell. We wanted a clean breakaway and a chance to start a new journey!
Please feel free to test drive the new elegantly modern user interface and exceptionally powerful features of Terminalski! Text Terminal Forever!
