gotty VS cloudmacs

(FYI: A fun manual remote terminal. Totally insecure, but fun.)

Thank you for all the suggestions. I tried some of these and decided to go with GoTTY: https://github.com/yudai/gotty

GoTTY: Share your terminal as a web application Caddy

I love the command line and I am not fan of HTML. I recently learned about web terminals ( gotty ), got excited and I thought to myself: couldn't it be a new (old!) paradigm for web apps? This would be especially useful for back office, administration tasks.

It is absolutely possible. Use Lynx for web browsing, use TMUX for split screen, use BC for calculator, use KHAL for calendar and of course use RTV for Reddit. :-) Here is a great list of CLI apps: https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps Here are some of my favorites though: - https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior - https://github.com/IonicaBizau/idea - https://github.com/jeffkowalski/geeknote - https://github.com/insanum/sncli - https://github.com/visit1985/mdp - https://github.com/astefanutti/decktape - https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli - https://github.com/pimutils/khal - https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ - https://github.com/zquestz/s - https://github.com/yudai/gotty - https://github.com/axiros/terminal_markdown_viewer - https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in - https://github.com/schachmat/wego - https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

There are programs like gotty that can show terminal output in a webpage. Some alternatives, https://alternativeto.net/software/gotty/ Like ttyd looks promising as well.

I'm not actually using a library I wrote or am working on, I'm hoping to use gotty on this server, which has been setup for go get and does work when I run the same commands in the bash script manually after ssh'ing in, it just doesn't work when I run it from the command as a startup cloud-init script when the server is defined from terraform. Am I missing something?

Things to note: - This is a very self-hosted type of method. You can store your notes in the cloud of course, but there's no "online Emacs" (whelp, nevermind, I stand corrected). - This is a very text-based environment. There are images and whatnot, but Emacs is fundamentally a bunch of text. This is a powerful thing, don't think of it as a downside. Text is the universal interface. - This is going to be a learning experience, both about a new tool and about yourself. You should walk away from Emacs with philosophical questions and a desire to convert the nonbelievers. - You will never feel comfortable using a normal computer again once you experience the pure bliss of a computing environment made just for you. - Do youself a favor and start with David Wilson's Emacs From Scratch series. If you follow that series all the way through, and make your own choices instead of just copying him, you'll be hooked by the end of it. DO NOT try to use Emacs raw and uncustomized, and shame anyone who tells you that you should. - You should look into keybindings, ergonomics, and human physiology (especially about hands). Regular computer stuff with a regular keyboard is hell on your hands, and Emacs will make it worse if you let it force it's arcane keybinds on you. Just define your own keybinds that work for you. Bonus points if you end up with a layered split vertical ortholinear concave thumb-cluster keyboard (I aint there yet because money, but I will eventually build my own custom keyboard).

If the goal is to have org mode running in a browser (even without wasm), then you could look at something like this: https://beepb00p.xyz/cloudmacs.html

In that last point there is Cloudmacs, which essentially runs spacemacs I'm docker and accessible via ssh within a browser.

Just kidding, you could try Cloudmacs. No idea how well it works with newer Emacs.

Maybe https://github.com/karlicoss/cloudmacs is what you're looking for?

Interesting side thought, there's also a Docker container for a browser-usable emacs that works by using gotty to render a tty (and the emacs running on it) in a webpage. So you could in theory have a container with both that and OCaml+opam, which would let you tuareg-mode, merlin, and the OCaml interactive mode within this browser-based emacs.

This reminds me of cloudmacs
