Not only is it completely possible, pretty sure it's already been done.... https://github.com/stuicey/SSHy

Unfortunately, that project doesn’t yet support key-based auth.

secure password auth trumps "give full access to stranger" auth any day of the week....

Agreed. But since we’re rewriting the implementation in this comment thread there should be an emphasis on E2E encrypted connections WITH key based auth. SSHy packaged up nicely with a web socket proxy through Shellvault, or any provider for that matter, would be more secure than Shellvault’s current implementation but I think the lack of being able to use key based auth would be a nonstarter for many.
