The objective of Maui Shell is to deploy a convergent desktop shell with different form factors, from mobile phones and tablets to desktop computers. Maui Shell will adapt to various form factors, and there’s no need for multiple versions targeting different form factors.
Like many things in computers the term shell ia overloaded. This is Maui Shell similar to what Gnome Shell is from wikipedia: "GNOME Shell is the graphical shell of the GNOME desktop environment starting with version 3, which was released on April 6, 2011. It provides basic functions like launching applications, switching between windows and is also a widget engine. "
is this supposed to be like termux on phones

termux is a shell that can be used on android, and there are various shells on desktop, so I guess this is like termux but also with the ability to run the same on both desktop and mobile? That’s interesting, although the comments on another article suggest the project is in a state of incompletion
It’s a DE not a terminal shell
Maui is a UI framework for KDE apps primarily aimed at smart phones or convergent applications. This is basically a whole desktop environment using Maui. Like a fork of KDE for smart phones and tablets.
