No mention of screen? I'm too old.
shpool is a service that enables session persistence by allowing the creation of named shell sessions owned by shpool so that the session is not lost if the connection drops. shpool can be thought of as a lighter weight alternative to tmux or GNU screen.
A lightweight tmux alternative? Tmux is already an incredibly lightweight C program in terms of binary size and resource usage.
The main difference is that tmux is a power user tool that you generally invest in configuring and tweaking to get just right, while shpool is meant to be set up quickly to solve the specific problem of dropped connections and then mostly forgotten about.
Why is this better then the old school "screen"?

it simply allows you to have multiple shell/term sessions on a server and be able to switch between them from any terminal. Kind of a 'flat ctrl-Z' cum 'nohup' if you will.
No windows, splits, etc, no client software at all in fact.

I love tmux but it’s definitely not “n00b” friendly.
