I'm sure it is an interesting engineering exercise, but I struggle to think of a situation where I would fire a browser to use the terminal instead of just opening a terminal.

The name might be a hint as to the utility. If you wanted to display your terminal on your massive television using, say, Chromecast, you wouldn't have the option, but you can "cast" a browser window.

I guess you could run the program in one of your private servers then do a reverse proxy to that from a public server. Voila: Easy terminal access to your private servers from everywhere!

Not a good idea from a security standpoint though...

Yeah, I bet there are Electron-based terminals out there anyways.
