The point about the system I described is that you wouldn't be seeing any plaintext.

It's a mistake that the ssh client requires node, I didn't know that. There's no fundamental reason you couldn't implement an in-browser ssh client the way I described, it's just more work than doing it the way you've done it.

The fact that the person responding for the site does not understand this instantly (or is able to confer with someone who does before responding) makes it very apparent that there is not nearly enough understanding of ssh to be running any type of service like this.
