Can you make an interactive ssh instead?

"Zig with TypeScript bindings and React components" for TUI is definitely the wildest, weirdest stack for a given job I've seen.
Where are you seeing any mention of Zig? All I see is TypeScript?
It uses OpenTUI which is build in Zig: https://github.com/anomalyco/opentui
That's a lot of deps to read HN.
Maybe your clanker can do it without.
