## What it is
Sshwifty is a self-hosted web application that provides SSH and Telnet client access directly from a browser. It ships as prebuilt executables or a Docker container and serves a web-based terminal UI.

## Use cases
- access ssh servers from a web browser
- self-hosted web ssh client
- connect to telnet hosts via browser
- ssh into machines without installing a client
- provide browser-based terminal access behind a reverse proxy

## When to choose
- you need SSH/Telnet access from devices where you can't install native clients
- you want a self-hosted, Docker-deployable web terminal
- you want to centralize remote shell access behind a reverse proxy with TLS

## When to avoid
- you need advanced SSH features like agent forwarding, port forwarding, or SFTP
- you prefer a native terminal emulator with local key management
- you don't want to run a server-side component that holds SSH connections
