Overview
webterm serves PTY sessions over HTTP/WebSocket with a dashboard that tiles multiple active terminals in a single browser tab — built for monitoring several AI coding agents in parallel. WASM renderer, correct xterm handling, sticky mobile keybar.
How it works
A Go HTTP server accepts WebSocket connections and spawns a PTY for each session. go-te maintains the server-side VT100/xterm screen state for live tile previews in dashboard mode. The frontend renders via WebAssembly for correct escape handling without a JS library. A mobile sticky keybar (Esc, Ctrl, Shift, arrows) makes it usable from a phone.
