Top alternatives to WeTTY
In its own words
The project's README opens: "Terminal over HTTP and https. WeTTY is an alternative to ajaxterm and anyterm but much better than them because WeTTY uses xterm.js which is a full fledged implementation of terminal emulation written entirely in JavaScript. WeTTY uses websockets rather than Ajax and hence better response time."
