SSH terminal browser rendering JavaScript when brow.sh went more graphical.

Strengths

•Custom layout engine built specifically for terminal rendering constraints
•SSH access means zero installation, works from any machine with ssh client
•Claims full JavaScript support in terminal, which is technically ambitious

Weaknesses

•No public repo or docs makes it hard to verify the implementation claims
•Demo server availability uncertain, no clear path to self-host

Post Description

Try it at: ssh krnl.duetbrowser.com

No sign up, totally free - no download. Let me know what you think.

Prior art exists (brow.sh) but I wasn't satisfied with their graphical take. I wanted the raw, old skool terminal days of the early internet - BBS, and old green phosphor library comptuers - but running the modern web, with all the bells and jingle jangle whistles (JavaScript, etc).

No funding, no VC, just 100% raw terminal fun. Not sure how long the demo will last, but try it out.
