The tool, installable via a curl command, offers keyboard/mouse tile management, full-featured terminals, file browsing, port forwarding, and password or token authentication, with English and Chinese interfaces.", "body_md": "# Suwu\n\nMake the remote shell enjoyable\n\nin agentic AI time.\n\nYour real shell, in a browser tab. Suwu gives agents and humans alike a tiling terminal that keeps running when you don't — refresh, disconnect, come back tomorrow, pick up where you left off.\n\nInstall\n\n`curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liyu1981/suwu/refs/heads/master/install.sh | sh`\n\nThe download lands in `~/.local/bin/suwu`\n\nand walks you through onboarding.\n\n## See it in action.\n\n## Built for the way you actually work.\n\n-\n### A tile-based window manager, by keyboard or mouse\n\nSplit, focus, move, and swap tiles with fast key bindings or a click and drag — whichever fits the moment. And your sessions live in the layout: refresh the page, drop the connection, even restart the server, and every tile comes back exactly as you left it.\n\n-\n### Full-featured terminals, perfect for agents\n\nReal shells with selection, copy/paste, scrollback, and notifications — comfortable for you, and a solid target for agent orchestrators like\n\n`opencode`\n\n,`pi`\n\n, and`herdr`\n\nthat drive many terminals at once. -\n### Convenient apps for everyday dev work\n\nA file browser with download, a file viewer with auto-refresh, and a TCP/UDP port forwarder — the small tools you'd otherwise reach for a second terminal or a GUI client, right in the grid next to your shells.\n\n-\n### From terminal to web, with suwu commands\n\n`suwu send`\n\nposts a notification to your screen from any script — pipe stdin, set a title.`suwu forward`\n\nopens a port-forwarding tile,`suwu open`\n\nresolves links and actions on the remote machine. Long builds finish? You'll know. -\n### Reachable, but only by you\n\nAccess works out of the box on localhost, your LAN, or over the internet behind a reverse proxy — with password authentication, per-run tokens, and one-command HTTPS.\n\n-\n### Yours to tune\n\nPick your font family and size, theme the colors, dial in a glassy background alpha. The interface speaks English and Chinese out of the box.\n\n-\n### Install once, stay current\n\nOnboarding sets up your dev environment step by step, and\n\n`suwu update`\n\nkeeps the binary fresh. No config files to babysit.\n\n## Inspired by great work.\n\nSuwu is inspired by [Omarchy](https://omarchy.org/) —\nthe opinionated, keyboard-first Arch + Hyprland setup from DHH and team.\nWith that same spirit, Suwu aims to bring that same level of enjoyment to the\nweb-based remote shell — a terminal you would actually want to use day after day.\n\nBuilt on the shoulders of [creack/pty](https://github.com/creack/pty),\n[libghostty-go](https://github.com/shintaoku/libghostty-go),\n[xterm.js](https://xtermjs.org),\n[React](https://react.dev),\n[Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com),\n[Radix UI](https://www.radix-ui.com),\nand [wazero](https://wazero.io).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-suwu-an-omarchy-inspired-web-remote-shell", "canonical_source": "https://suwu.liyu1981.xyz", "published_at": "2026-09-02 11:30:57+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-02 11:52:43.389565+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools", "ai-agents"], "entities": ["Suwu", "Omarchy", "DHH", "creack/pty", "libghostty-go", "xterm.js", "React", "Tailwind CSS"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-suwu-an-omarchy-inspired-web-remote-shell", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-suwu-an-omarchy-inspired-web-remote-shell.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-suwu-an-omarchy-inspired-web-remote-shell.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-suwu-an-omarchy-inspired-web-remote-shell.jsonld"}}
