Web SSH for tildeverse?

SDF.org has a web ssh frontend: https://sdf.org/ssh
It can be really handy when you're out there with an emergency and don't have a computer with you, or in a network where outgoing SSH is blocked by firewall.
Can we have one for tildeverse? One problem I see is that most tilde pubnixes does't allow password login.

This would be a nice differentiating feature for a specific tilde to offer. I have no plans to add web access to cosmic, but maybe one of the others will bite.

I'm guessing that SDF doesn't require ssh key login though? Because I couldn't see that being a viable option when I think most tildes require ssh key authentication.
Otherwise I'd set it up already lol

it is possible to program a web interface for SSH but I am not sure how secure it is, and if it's a good idea.
One thing I am absolutely sure about would be that it 100% requires SSL, no unencrypted authentication... ever...

IDK about whether or not a host/admin/mod here would implement such on the mainpage.
I am, however, aware and favorable towards such a webpage proxy you can use to SSH in via browser wherever you're at.
You can find it @ https://www.ssheasy.com/ they also have a repo available @ github licensed under AGPL in case you want to take a look @ the source.
I use it all the time @ the libraries whenever I wanna go in w.o doing nothin' to powershell (ssshh :P)

My only issue with web-based clients like this is that you have to upload your private key in order for key-based authentication to work. It makes my security senses tingle something fierce, especially the thought of doing it from a public computer.

Right, SDF allows normal login.
