In that use case it was a bit more challenging because I had never written to an actual tty before (ansi escape codes for coloring log files has been about the limit of my experience). For that use case I just really needed to send and receive text. I ended up using this library [ &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;wavesoft&amp;#x2F;local-echo&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;wavesoft&amp;#x2F;local-echo&lt;/a&gt; ] to smooth that process out until I could learn about how to do things properly.&lt;p&gt;Are any suggestions on:&lt;p&gt;1. where to learn about how ttys work to do things the right way, or&lt;p&gt;2. suggested libraries like local-echo that can wrap over some of the trickier bits of just getting text on the screen?&lt;p&gt;Thanks again for maintaining such a great &amp;amp; useful library!</text><parent_chain><item><author>Tyriar</author><text>Hi all, I&amp;#x27;m one of the maintainers of xterm.js, open to answer any questions!&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#x27;s a little history on the project, some of which is already called out in other comments:&lt;p&gt;- Fabrice Bellard created jslinux[1].&lt;p&gt;- Christopher Jeffrey (@chjj) forked the terminal component into term.js[2], this eventually became unmaintained.&lt;p&gt;- Paris Kasidiaris (@parisk) forked it into xterm.js for use in SourceLair[3].&lt;p&gt;- I showed up around 2016 when investigating options for VS Code&amp;#x27;s integrated terminal and eventually joined as a maintainer, spending a good deal of my time at work on the project since then.&lt;p&gt;We currently have 5 active maintainers in the xterm.js team as well which I&amp;#x27;d like to call out because the project has only come this far as a result of everyone&amp;#x27;s efforts.&lt;p&gt;[1]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;bellard.org&amp;#x2F;jslinux&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;bellard.org&amp;#x2F;jslinux&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[2]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;chjj&amp;#x2F;term.js&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;chjj&amp;#x2F;term.js&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[3]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.sourcelair.com&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.sourcelair.com&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;EDITS: Formatting</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Xterm.js</title><url>http://xtermjs.org/</url></story>
