More lightweight alternative to tmux?

Looks like what I wanted, thanks! Took me a bit to figure out how to write an openrc service for its daemon but now it works

I need to be able to launch a program in the background, make it persist after the “parent” terminal closes and be able to access its stdin/stdout from another terminal. I don’t care about multiplexing.

I’ve been using tmux for this but I don’t like how it hijacks my mouse and that i’m not able to use my terminal’s search feature and have to use what tmux tui provides instead. In other words, programs launched directly in the terminal feel more comfortable to work with than when they are launched inside tmux.

I feel the ideal program should behave much simpler. Like e.g. on attach it should clear the screen, print the stdout buffer it accumulated and give me stdin prompt, that’s it.

More hosts better than one. I doubt codeberg will be able to sustain the load remaining as free as it is now when it will be popular enough that every cs student will be using it for their assignments (forgetting to gitignore their IDE cache files obviously). Or some smartasses start abusing it for free storage. I mean everything that github has to deal with currently.

IIRC their tos says it must only be used for opensource software (i don’t remember if it was enforced yet but expect that they can remove private repos at any time or make them paid feature). Same story with sourcehut
