Are you sending unsolicited ("spam") e-mails "Your terminal, live in a browser" via Apollo?

Hi @TeoSlayer,

I got this e-mail titled [SPAM] Your terminal, live in a browser with header From: Teodor <tcalin@ttyfeed.com> today:

Hi,

You kick off a build, a training job, or a coding agent, and now you have to babysit the computer. I built shell.online to fix that.

Under 30 seconds to try, no account, no config:

curl -fsSL https://shell.online/install | sh
shell <anything>

shell claude, shell npm run dev, or plain shell. You get a link. Open it anywhere. That terminal is live, and you can type. The process stays on your machine, and the link dies when the task exits.

The terminal works well on mobile as well. Zoom is sometimes fucked.

Anyone with the link can type in it. That's the point. Hand a run to a teammate, or to yourself on the couch.

I'm not asking for money, there's nothing to buy. It's open source — the code is all there if you want to read it or see how it works:

If a cold email doesn't inspire trust, you can also build it yourself:

brew tap teoslayer/shell-online https://github.com/TeoSlayer/shell.online
brew install shell-online

If you try it and it's useful, hit reply. And if it earns a spot in your workflow, a star on GitHub would genuinely mean a lot.

PS: got your email from apollo, i am sorry if this feels intrusive, in this day and age it's impossible to capture attention, i thought email might be efficient. i will respect any requests for no contact, and if domains get burned in time, that is just the will of the people. still, thank you for offering me a bit of your time. That's more than i would ever be able to ask for.

Is that you or someone acting on your behalf? And what about part "if domains get burned in time, that is just the will of the people" in particular?

Best, Sebastian

I’m genuinely confused by this. I also received the email. I’m not some great developer like you guys 😅, but honestly, I didn’t find it irritating enough to get this triggered over a single email.

I actually came here just to leave a star for the project, and then I noticed there are already issues about the email now two of them, #20 and #22, basically about the same thing.

A developer builds something, tries to showcase their work, and suddenly it’s “spam”? Not every attempt to get attention for a project is spam. Sometimes it’s just a developer trying to show what they’ve built and get some visibility.

I understand that unsolicited emails aren’t everyone’s thing, but how can receiving a single email about a developer’s project be this irritating? If it’s not relevant to you, you can simply ignore it or delete it.

And especially coming from experienced developers, I feel like we should be encouraging junior developers who are trying to build, learn, and share their work rather than discouraging them.

Anyway, I apologize on his behalf if the email caused any inconvenience or disturbance. 😅
