Description
I needed a web terminal I could drop into K8s sidecars and internal tools without pulling in heavy dependencies or running a separate service. Existing options were either too opinionated about the shell or had fragile session handling around reconnects.WooTTY wraps any binary -- bash, ssh, or custom tools -- and serves a browser terminal over HTTP. Sessions survive reconnects via output replay. There's a Resume/Watch distinction so multiple people can attach to the same session without stepping on each other.

Could you build this?
Yes The tool leverages existing Go libraries for PTY handling and WebSockets to serve an embedded xterm.js frontend in a self-contained binary, a well-established pattern AI assistants can write quickly.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
