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.

Good point on the small target audience.. It really is a shame because this is a great looking project. I think I should write a web app that handles the SHH connection on the backend and renders the SHH app into HTML so that they can be enjoyed by the masses. =)

  If you do this, please mention that using a proper terminal + ssh will work better(This is based on my understanding of technologies used, but I could be wrong), and you may be responsible for a lot of people taking their first steps into knowing computers a lot better!

ttyd is a nice little web terminal: https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd 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 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.
