+  <description>
+    <p>
+      Ghostty is a terminal emulator that differentiates itself by being fast,
+      feature-rich, and native. While there are many excellent terminal
+      emulators available, they all force you to choose between speed,
+      features, or native UIs. Ghostty provides all three.
