Exploring a browser-based graphical shell for SSH connections
By
Marcus Lewis
Summary
The article explores the idea of creating a browser-based graphical shell for SSH connections, where servers and edge devices could serve up a web-based interface with a home screen of apps. Each app would be a small HTTP server providing a web UI, and the shell would include an API for app discovery and inter-app communication. The concept draws inspiration from how web browsers have successfully enabled one device to provide an experience on another.

Imagine if servers and edge devices could serve up a browser-based graphical 'shell' so they can be used from other devices.
The shell would provide an API so that apps can look up each other's URLs.
