Show HN: Echo, an iOS SSH+mosh client built on Ghostty

Echo just dropped: a slick iPhone/iPad app that lets you remotely control your computer’s terminal (think: command line texting with your servers) using SSH and mosh, with the speedy Ghostty engine underneath. The pitch? Approve code changes from the train, chat with AI coding agents, and get a buttery smooth UI with Face ID security and a custom keyboard bar. The crowd? A split-screen drama. Some are cheering — “love the UI” vibes and “this is really nice” energy — and the custom key toolbar is getting claps.

Then the spice hits. Android diehards roll in calling iOS a “toy” and holding up Termux like a trophy, while others side-eye that Echo’s closed source. An iPhone power user demands proper external keyboard love, and someone points out the missing backtick key like it’s the final boss of mobile coding. There’s a mini skirmish over try-before-you-buy vs Apple’s refund safety net, and one commenter cheekily says Echo “copied the bar above the keyboard” — which, depending on your mood, is either good design or designer déjà vu. In short: Echo’s promising a mobile dev superpower, but the comment section has turned it into a platform war, a keyboard crusade, and a pricing debate — and we’re here for the drama.
