Products that do what Terminal in Browser does
I wrote a small golang project to render terminal on browser. It is a single binary that can be deployed on any server and you can access the terminal over web.

This is a model I’ve been thinking about lately. It demonstrates a pattern that I’m wondering could exist, where terminal applications, BBS-style shared user boards, and other expressions of creativity and sharing are created with web technologies but rendered into the terminal and accessed over SSH. I like that this brings back some kind of old days of the internet feeling and uses web technologies but sidesteps the public World Wide Web, even though it’s still on the internet. You can try it out too right now, and I’m thinking about making the self-hosting specialized applications part a…

I needed a web terminal I could drop into K8s sidecars and internal tools without pulling in heavy dependencies or running a separate service. Existing options were either too opinionated about the shell or had fragile session handling around reconnects. WooTTY wraps any binary -- bash, ssh, or custom tools -- and serves a browser terminal over HTTP. Sessions survive reconnects via output replay. There's a Resume/Watch distinction so multiple people can attach to the same session without stepping on each other.

Disco is tiny app I built over the weekend to try and make browsing git better. Inspired heavily by Tower, it also adds pull request integration and is run in the browser. It's only for public repositories. Checkout: http://disco.88cartell.com/#/rails/rails http://disco.88cartell.com/#/emberjs/ember.js http://disco.88cartell.com/#/angular/angular.js

Hello HN! Just wanted to share a small project I've been working for the last few months. It's a tool called Runal, a text-based creative coding environment that runs in the terminal. It works similarly as processing or p5js but it does all the rendering as text. And it can either be scripted with JavaScript or used as a Go package. It's open-source and cross-platform (linux, macOS, windows). It seems to me that text/ascii-art aesthetics are really popular in creative coding communities, so I though it would make sense to create a tool that runs on a platform which can render text only.…

I've been building a terminal that is distributed entirely as a chrome extension. It works similarly to the integrated terminal of your IDE, but inside your browser. I find it incredibly useful, since it allows me to interact with the chrome extension API using shell scripts.

ttyd is a simple command-line tool for sharing terminal over the web. Use case: doing a demo, mostly presenting from a browser, and need a terminal window to demonstrate something? Open one directly in a browser tab via ttyd so that you don't need to share your entire desktop.

I wrote a tutorial on how to create Bash scripts, where the command line interface runs entirely in the browser using v86 (https://github.com/copy/v86), and the code editor uses Monaco.
