I love Charm; doing `ssh git.charm.sh` is a lot of fun and really sparks the imagination about SSH apps. They also have usable solutions for auth and storage, which like, if you're thinking of writing something like this are the first things you'd start reaching for. They also work hard to enable you to run all your own services, so you don't rely on the Charm cloud for everything. Definitely a good model for future punk projects IMO.

It really does. I wonder if these SSH applications can be linked and used like web applications where it's delivered to the end-user over the network with terminal + SSH being used as a browser. The only problem for these applications (and Charmbracelet) would be that there isn't much audience that could use these.

ttyd is a nice little web terminal: https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd Just a small, fast, low fuss C-based executable.

wetty is another good option if you want to run a nodejs server: https://github.com/butlerx/wetty

Both use xterm.js for the client terminal, which is these days the only game in town for a web terminal (it's what VS code and many other electron apps use too). It's quite good.

Do be aware though that running a web-accessible terminal is a huge security headache. You're opening up a websocket to effectively allow commands and code to run on your server. Pay attention to security and authentication options any web terminal gives you, and use them. Most are not very secure out of the box or just following their readme examples.

And watch out as many rootkits use web terminals as payloads so smart organizations and security policies will be looking for them or their traffic and you might get a very concerned IT person asking you questions if you use these on a network or machine you don't control.
