Authentication & built-in terminal

[pantchox]

Hi! Great project it is exactly what i am looking for, an alternative for cloud9 or codeanywhere the editor works great and i would like to offer these features

• authentication, can be regular web auth (simple with express and can be done with a config file to be static for now) or user base system (more complex)
• SSH plugin, to run scripts "npm run start" etc - https://github.com/billchurch/WebSSH2

Thanks!

Hey @pantchox, thanks for the interest! It's great to know you liked the project :)

About the authentication, it's not something I've been thinking about because this project was initially meant to be used locally to edit files in environments which does not have a good code editor (like Android & iOS devices, raspberry, etc.) so for now I'm not intended on be implementing this feature.

And the SSH thing is something that is in my ROADMAP. When you run the application on the cli it gets blocked by the execution, and you can't keep on using the terminal to do other operations at the same time you are running it (except if your terminal application supports multi-tab or multi-processes). In this case, this feature would allow you to keep on using the same instance of the terminal through the browser.
