CLUSTER TERMINAL-SESSIONS-WEB-2 · 14 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-05
Persistent web terminal apps
These are self-hosted web terminals that keep persistent shell sessions accessible from browsers, with features like tabs, clipboard sync, and session management. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only two dated entries exist before the index start. hydra-local leads traction with 14 stars, followed by sshtty (3) and shared-browser-tabs (1).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
