Building TermRoyale: terminals that survive the disconnect

I run a lot of long-lived terminal and AI-agent sessions, and I was tired of losing them every time an SSH connection dropped or a laptop went to sleep. So I built TermRoyale.

It's an open-source, self-hostable manager for persistent terminal and agent sessions: xterm.js in the browser, dtach doing the heavy lifting on the box. Open a session from any device, close the tab, come back hours later — it's still running, right where you left it.

It started life as the session organizer behind my own agent workflows and grew into something worth sharing. Free, self-hosted, no accounts on someone else's server.
