#15There was something similar a few years ago which ran over an ssh connection and had a zoomable ui of sorts. I can't find the link -- does this ring a bell anywhere?
I don't completely understand what is meant by "zooming", but kitty[^1] does that: you open ssh connection with `kitten ssh user@host` and pressing will open another ssh pane in the same tab, you can than IIRC to "zoom" and make tab take full window

Neither, it's its own thing. Most similar to tmux, but you interact with it more like you'd interact with a graphical window manager.
