## What it is
Wemux is a shell script that enhances tmux to make multi-user terminal multiplexing easy. It lets a host user run a shared tmux server that other SSH users can join in read-only (mirror), shared-cursor (pair), or independent (rogue) modes.

## Use cases
- pair program with a teammate over ssh in a shared terminal
- let students watch a live terminal demo in read-only mode
- share a tmux session with multiple users on one server
- work independently in the same tmux session as another user
- list connected users and get attach/detach notifications

## When to choose
- you need multi-user tmux sessions with simple host/client modes
- you want a lightweight shell script with no dependencies beyond tmux
- you are doing remote pair programming or terminal-based teaching

## When to avoid
- you only need single-user tmux
- you want an actively developed tool with recent features
- you need a GUI-based collaboration or screen-sharing solution
