Tt – P2P terminal sharing over WebRTC
Made this to use my laptop terminal session on mobile without data going through a server. tt start -p mypassword → get a URL (qrcode) → open in browser → enter password → connected. Direct webrtc datachannel between your machine and browser. Signaling server is a cloudflare worker, exchanges ~2KB of sdp/ice metadata then gets out of the way. Password never transmitted - argon2id derives 256-bit key locally on both ends. All terminal i/o gets nacl secretbox encryption before hitting the datachannel. double encrypted with dtls underneath but I wanted the relay to see nothing useful…

In plain words
Tt is a terminal sharing tool that establishes direct peer-to-peer connections between a laptop and mobile browser using WebRTC, eliminating the need for server intermediaries. Users start a session with a password, receive a shareable URL with QR code, and connect via browser after entering the password. All terminal input and output is encrypted with NaCl SecretBox before transmission, with the signaling server only handling initial metadata exchange. Built for developers who need to access terminal sessions remotely over unreliable connections, such as checking code runs from a phone while away from their desk.

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
