Show HN: WooTTY - browser terminal in a single Go binary
masterkain Wednesday, March 04, 2026
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.
Summary
Wootty is an open-source, lightweight and customizable web terminal emulator that can be embedded in web applications to provide a terminal-like experience. It supports various terminal features and can be easily integrated into different web development frameworks.
