Show HN: Remote control for dev environment, not just agents

The article presents a remote control tool for development environments, focusing on managing entire environments rather than just individual agents.

Background

- **Shellular** is a command-line tool that lets you remotely control your development environment — not by treating it as an "agent" (which often implies autonomous, AI-driven behavior), but by giving you direct, interactive shell access from anywhere. - It fills a niche between full remote desktop setups and simple SSH: you can share terminals, run commands, and collaborate on a live dev environment without the overhead of a full remote IDE or the security/complexity of VPNs. - The "Show HN" tag means this was posted on Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com) by the maker, seeking community feedback — a common launch ritual in tech circles. - The "not just agents" distinction is a reaction to the recent surge of agentic AI tools (e.g., Claude's Code, Cursor's agent mode, etc.) that automate development tasks; Shellular is explicitly about *you* controlling the machine, not an AI acting on your behalf.
