Usually I get really annoyed with people who hijack a thread to post their own thing, but ok, yea, this is pretty amazing. The quality is superb.
I do also love itter.sh

It looks completely garbled on my end

It needs a terminal with 24 bit color support, and at least 80x24. In particular, gnu screen doesn't work.

HOLY FUCK, WOW. Can we have a call?

The SSH keystroke lag makes it un-enjoyable especially that you need to type to move around the interface. Otherwise, I like the concept. I'd rather have a terminal feed of random shit that I can filter than having to navigate around web pages.

gotcha!

There's also https://pico.sh/

I like the self depreciation here: > itter.sh is built with TONS of bugs on:
rrr_oh_man

Its neat but isn't it basically just `wall`?

This is timely.
For my side project (pricetracker.wtf) i was hoping to build a terminal app that you can connect with telnet or ssh - and do navigate the app through a super simplified but interactive ux...
Found a few libraries that seems to help with this...

This is so good. I love the name, logo, and bugs section.

This is AWESOME. Love the idea of totally navigating around the ad-noise that the modern html/css/js web has become. This is how I first experienced the internet and I still maintain that it is one of the sanest ways to do so.
How is adoption so far?

Curious how long it took to get it? Fun experiment. Missing readline support though :)
I was at first thinking I could use it from my commandline directly..

I bet you tried to register a short user name.
It didn't get much attention when I posted it earlier this week, but I made an SSH movie player:
ssh ansi.rya.nc
(currently shows Sneakers, complete with subtitles)
