Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 6, Utility: 6)

Chuchu is a modern Android SSH client that leverages libghostty for terminal emulation and Jetpack Compose for a native UI, supporting Tailscale SSH, kitty image protocol, and over 400 themes. It stands out by integrating Ghostty's VT engine natively on Android with a complex Zig/Kotlin bridge, filling a gap for users seeking a polished, feature-rich alternative to existing mobile SSH clients.
