A web-based Unix terminal with notable improvements, built with VanJS - https://vanjs.org/. Under 300 lines in total.
We've seen numerous efforts to bring in more modernized terminals and shells. VanJS goes with the other direction. Why not making building UI apps as simple as CLI programs so most of us aren't confined to the limitations of terminals? Indeed, even for the quest of modernizing terminals, VanJS is pretty good at it.
Seems like this project got star pumped. More stars than watches, forks, contributors, issues, releases, used bys, discussions, replies, and commits combined.
Did you realize this is true for many GitHub projects? Also "used by" for VanJS is undercounted as it only counts the projects with NPM integration, which was only added recently in the 1.0 release.
