I'm working on a terminal browser of sorts that is designed to browse terminal user interfaces served by servers. The idea is that no mouse input is supported and servers specify keyStrokes for links. It starts from a protobuf specification optimized for sending components over gRPC in a pageRequest/pageResponse manner.
In order to promote the idea I've been spending most of the time writing a client in Go. I think it has enough functionality that I can start writing servers that really showcase the capabilities.
Yes. Thanks for this. This is very very similar to what I'm trying to do. I guess more like the subproject https://github.com/charmbracelet/wish than anything.
I suppose the difference is that I like the idea of being able to link to other servers and keep a contextual menu bar telling the user where they are. Also, in corporate environments SSH is often locked down because of what it could potentially do. This would be nice as it would be sandboxed to only what the client/server are coded to do.
Thanks for the link, this gives me some things to think about.
FWIW, I think ssh apps or something similar could be a very powerful paradigm for people who live in the terminal and a diversity of ideas here would be welcome.
