Ship 0.1.0

Ship 0.1.0 is out. It's a terminal multiplexer, like tmux or Zellij, with a sidebar that shows what your coding agents are doing, and your programs run on a background server so closing the window doesn't stop them. Herdr is what got me started on it, and the goal is most of what I use Herdr for with a lot less code. The release notes have the full list of what's in it.

Optimal-ish

I was pretty sure Ship was fast. It sends your window the whole screen every time anything changes, which sounds wasteful, but it had beaten every diff I tried, and I remembered it leading on latency in every test I'd run. Then I had my agent build a proper benchmark against Herdr and Zellij, and a key you typed took more than five times longer to show up in Ship than in Herdr. I use Herdr every day and the whole point of Ship is to stop needing it, so this was like opening a PR to replace something and having the benchmark say the old one is faster.
