AI Analysis

●MidNiche Gem

brow.sh already does JavaScript terminal browsing—unclear what's technically different here.

Strengths

•SSH access means zero download or signup friction for trying it out
•Custom layout engine suggests genuine technical effort beyond wrapping w3m

Weaknesses

•No URL to verify claims or inspect implementation quality
•brow.sh has been doing terminal JavaScript rendering for years

Post Description

Give it a try 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.
