Ask HN: Would you pay for a web service that lets you manage SSH sessions?

3 points by ronreiter ↗ HN
I created a cool app called webmux (https://github.com/ronreiter/webmux) which allows you to manage SSH sessions over a web-based terminal. I'm thinking about creating a SaaS out of this so you could login wherever you want to your active sessions.

Would you pay for such a service?

No, why ? Its just not more then a password manager but with an inbuild ssh terminal and the feature to only store ssh credentials? And ofc im sure there are tons of features not available like authorization with a key etc.

Key based authentication is super basic, so of course it will be provided. But thanks for the honest feedback!

Check out: https://commando.io, it is essentialy the SaaS you are describing.

I'd pay for your service provided it had the following improvement over Commando.io: VPN support. Most SSH accounts I manage do require VPN. I don't know if it would be secure/feasible for a web service.
