### What we like

Uses QUIC or a TLS WebSocket to connect to terminal sessions. Acts almost like a proxy between terminal sessions, built on Ghostty’s engine. You can close the client without the server quitting. Every device gets its own key - no passwords.

### Tradeoffs

Transport-only for now, not a multiplexer. No Windows support. Website animations are annoying.
