## What it is
GoTTY is a command line tool written in Go that turns CLI programs into web applications by streaming the terminal over a browser via WebSockets. It starts a web server that renders any command's TTY output in the browser, with optional write access, basic auth, TLS, and random URLs.

## Use cases
- share a terminal session with teammates through a browser
- run htop or top remotely from a web page
- give demos of CLI tools without SSH access
- expose a long-running command's output over HTTP
- provide a browser-based terminal on a headless server

## When to choose
- you want to view or share terminal output in a browser with minimal setup
- you need a quick single-binary web terminal with auth and TLS options
- you want to demo CLI tools to non-technical users

## When to avoid
- you need a full interactive multi-session terminal manager with modern security hardening
- you require active development and frequent updates
- you need fine-grained per-user access control or audit logging
