What is Ghostty Playground?

Ghostty Playground combines a Ghostty terminal with a BrowserPod development environment so you can use Bash, Git, Node.js, npm, and project files in one browser page.

Ghostty terminal and BrowserPod runtime

@crunchloop/ghostty-web provides terminal parsing, input, scrollback, selection, and rendering. BrowserPod runs Bash, Git, Node.js, npm, child processes, and a persistent virtual filesystem through WebAssembly.

The Playground connects both systems and adds Ghostty-style configuration, themes, browser controls, and optional local model inference.

Browser-hosted development

Project commands run inside BrowserPod and use its browser filesystem. BrowserPod Portals can expose HTTP servers running inside a Pod through controlled URLs when the host page connects the Portal callback.
