I need another SSH Client. So I made NoxSSH based on CloudTerm from Cloudblast.

Meet NoxSSH: https://github.com/DT27/NoxSSH

NoxSSH is a fork of CloudTerm. It keeps the same terminal, SFTP, RDP/VNC and assistant. The main change is data is synced via WebDAV.

What changed

Your own WebDAV, not a CloudBlast account. Hosts, folders, keys, snippets, proxies, known hosts, assistant settings and terminal settings are encrypted on this device, then uploaded to a WebDAV you choose. Any standard WebDAV works.
Versioned backups. stored on that WebDAV, on a schedule or by hand. Restore or delete one version without touching the live sync copy.
AI API Gateway. The assistant can use an OpenAI-compatible API Gateway and does not need a local Claude, Codex or OpenCode CLI.
No telemetry. The app does not contact console.cloudblast.io on launch. Updates are checked against this repository on GitHub.

Hello guys, can you please explain why no or those meme?

I am not a programmer so i don't know how and can't assess its security but i would like to learn how.

Thank you

PS: I know AI makes lot of mistakes, invents, etc. so always needs to check output

Because it's most likely vibecoded slop on top of vibecoded slop from unproven code and maintainers.

I appreciate this existing in the sense that it takes out the proprietary parts of CloudTerm (despite sadly still being beholden to its license), but I wouldn't ever use it.

can we just ban all this slop already?

Thank you for your explanations, I think I see what you mean.

As a non-technical person, i appreciate tools which are more user friendly but i agree: as i can only check those project gits, only 1 maintainer and no feedback, issues reported, etc. I do not feel confident to use it with my ssh keys, passphrases, etc.

And with first version released only 24h ago and 5 updates since, does not seem to be a stable version but rather an "alpha" or "beta"?

This reminded me of a movie scene where the guy wants to replace 8 Minute Abs with 7 Minute Abs

Absolutely. Just because the version number is >1.x.x, that says nothing about security, stability, ...

Maybe fun to toy with but I wouldn't let it near anything production or somewhat important.
The code hasn't been audited, it hasn't even been looked at by more than 1 person (and that's assuming the developer even reads the LLM's output, which is unlikely when going full agentic slopmode). Generally just hasn't been put through its paces and most likely never will be because it's so easy to just push out vibecoded slop.

The value of an open source project goes far beyond "here is some code" (and this is only source available, really), and when everyone has access to LLMs and doesn't do their due diligence writing code, why is their token spend better than anyone else's?
