Score: 5.5/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 6, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

Glacier is a modern macOS terminal emulator built with Rust and Tauri, featuring auto-tiling panes, file icons, and live theme switching. It aims to rethink the terminal as a native macOS app with zero configuration needed, bundling tools like lsd for an improved out-of-the-box experience. The project is interesting for its attempt to modernize a classic tool while maintaining a clean, self-contained architecture.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, macOS power users
