The lock-in of hosted tools is a pile of small papercuts, so we built Tailshell for the terminal and a tiny Mailspring plugin for the inbox.
Tailshell is a persistent web terminal that wraps ttyd and tmux with JWT auth, TOTP for admins, workspaces, and quick prompts, and the interesting part is why the missing piece was never the terminal itself.
