porterminal: An open-source tool for quick web terminal tunneling between phone and PC

Summary

A developer created "porterminal," an open-source tool that enables quick and simple web terminal tunneling between a phone and PC. The tool runs with a single command (uvx ptn), generates a QR code to scan from a phone, and provides terminal access without requiring registration, complex setup, port forwarding, or firewall configuration. The developer built it out of frustration with existing solutions like ngrok (requires registration, poor free tier), Cloudflare Quick Tunnel (hard to use on phone), Termius (complicated setup), Claude Code web (can't access local hardware), and Happy (too bulky).
