This seems pretty interesting. What would be the use-cases? I can't imagine that it would be a good fit for real-time (a screenshare app like Hangouts or Skype solves that) -- perhaps server logs in a browser tab?

The use case behind these kinds of terminal/editor sharing over the browser is to allow other individual to interact with your instance. This is good for remote debugging especially. Additionally video calls are susceptible to quality drops which make screens harder to read sometimes. This simply transfers the text as opposed to a screen grab.

While tools like zoom allow remote desktop control, it still has lag, and the requirement for both parties to install software as opposed to just the sender in the case of this tool.

+1 to the hard screen reading

Awesome, I didn't know that the other person could interact with it -- as in one person's terminal is now a shared browser tab that can have commands entered in? If so, that is really cool and I will check it out further.

Edit: I just viewed the gif again, this time a little longer, and this is really cool!

Did you know tmate? Looks pretty similar to that one
