Very cool but I just prefer to attach to a tmux session

Wouldn't this require you to setup your own SSH session? Or does tmux have remote sessions built-in?

Edit: I just realized you can join a session through the browser, meaning the opposite party wouldn't need teleconsole / tmux / screen installed. And you can even port forward for web development which is really nice. Not trying to attack tmux. I'm just trying to find the benefits of this.

You can forward a local ssh server port on a target host with ssh -R, then from the target host back to your localhost, then the other party just needs to ssh on the target host, without an NAT or firewall modification needed.

What about https://tmate.io/ ? It's a tmux fork.

Cool! I've not heard of tmate before. The only thing the opposite party would need is SSH installed (instead of being able to access through the browser). Though if you're working with a team of developers the chances are slim that they don't have that installed.
