Hey PH — I'm Alexander, the builder behind ATerminal.
I built this because I kept wanting to check on things running at home — builds, AI agent processes, background jobs — and the existing options felt wrong. SSH from a phone terminal app is tedious. tmate routes through someone else's servers. Setting up a full reverse proxy for a personal tool felt like overkill.
The insight was that Tailscale's `serve` command already solves the hard parts: HTTPS cert, stable URL, private-by-default access. ATerminal just needed to be the terminal layer on top of that.
A few honest rough edges: session persistence across reloads is basic right now, and the multi-machine dashboard is functional but early. I'm actively working on both. If you're a homelab or self-hosted person, I'd love your feedback — especially on the Tailscale integration and the ntfy setup.
One command to try it: `npm run setup:tailscale`
