In plain words

Shellshare is a tool that enables developers to broadcast their terminal live to others using a single command. It is designed for teaching, presentations, and demonstrations where viewers need to see what is happening in a terminal in real time. The broadcast is read-only and end-to-end encrypted, meaning viewers cannot send commands to the terminal and only those with the full share link can watch the stream.

From the sources

Shellshare allows you to broadcast your terminal live with a single command. Read-only, end-to-end encrypted, great for teaching and presentations. No. All communication is just one-way: from your terminal to shellshare. There's no way someone could send commands to your terminal. If you'd like to allow it, try screen or tmux (especially with tmate ). Broadcasts are end-to-end encrypted. The decryption key lives in the part of the share link after the # , which your browser never sends to the server, so only the people you give the full link to can watch. Neither the server nor your network can read your terminal. No. Shellshare was made only for live broadcasts. If you'd like to save your…from shellshare.net

  • Warp, a Rust-based terminal2022 · warp.dev · ▲946

    Hi HN community, I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, Warp is in public beta and any Mac user can download it. It works with bash, zsh, and fish. The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive. After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor. To fix fundamental accessibility issues, I believe we need to start innovating on the terminal,…

    TerminalPhone is a single, self-contained Bash script that provides anonymous, end-to-end encrypted voice and text communication between two parties over the Tor network. It operates as a walkie-talkie: you record a voice message, and it is compressed, encrypted, and transmitted to the remote party as a single unit. You can also send encrypted text messages during a call. No server infrastructure, no accounts, no phone numbers. Your Tor hidden service .onion address is your identity.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
