sshx is a secure, collaborative terminal environment that runs in the browser and enables real-time shared access to a terminal session over the web. It’s designed for use cases like pair programming, remote debugging, teaching, or any scenario where multiple people need to see and interact with the same terminal at the same time. Users can start a session with a simple command and invite others via link, with end-to-end encryption ensuring that the session remains confidential. The interface supports an infinite canvas for arranging multiple terminal panes, real-time remote cursors, automatic reconnection, and predictive local echo to make typing feel fluid even with network latency. SSHX’s mesh networking architecture connects participants to the nearest server, facilitating fast interactions globally. Because it’s open source and cross-platform, it can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows systems, and it integrates with CI/CD workflows to make collaborative debugging easier.
