All the commits and releases happened in an extremely short timeframe about a month ago and then nothing.
With AI it's so easy to work on something for a couple days and make it seem production-ready before losing any interest and moving on to something else. I may be wrong but it seems like that's what is happening at Vercel Labs. Pumping out new radically different things, and seeing what sticks.
I wish such kinds of experiments clearly labeled what it was instead of trying to look production-ready. It coming from a big player like Vercel can especially inspire a false sense of trust, when it was just messing around with AI around some idea and then moving on.
Unfortunately the browser still can't make the kind of network connection needed to transport a terminal session to a remote computer natively. afaik all the tunneling solutions are pretty clunky/insecure.
Lot but not enough still. Most web tech is like that, almost there but not really. Webaudio prob being the worst one. Webgpu being weird thing that nobody really knows who it is for.

Probably some tokenmaxxing competition between the employees. The whole company seems under some kind of AI psychosis.
I thought that there was a name clash: https://web.archive.org/web/20071010015641/https://martin.an... but I can't actually remember what that that wterm was. Not the same I would imagine. (edit: what I was thinking about was https://sourceforge.net/projects/wterm/)

What do you mean - WebTransport can do a lot...

Wow, finally an alternative to xterm.js?
Ghostty-web exists and is even API compatible with xterm.js (same engine that powers Ghostty):

In fact, it looks like wterm's 12KB plugin doesnt offer full term emulation and uses ghostty to support everything else:
https://wterm.dev/ghostty
This seems like a useful discussion of the relationship between wterm and xtermjs: https://github.com/agent-of-empires/agent-of-empires/issues/...
