I put Claude Code in a browser terminal I built in Go
Anup Shinde created a browser-based terminal using Go, demonstrating the capabilities of the godom framework. The terminal successfully runs Claude Code without any special configurations. This setup also allows for convenient remote access via Tailscale by scanning a QR code.

- ▪The implementation consists of around 250 lines of Go and a 60-line JavaScript adapter.
