Trying to build a small tool that will allow me to edit files in my local text editor from within SSH sessions, with as few dependencies on the remote as possible, so I don't have to depend on whatever `vi` happens to be where I'm working.

I started the project around a year ago, then got a little stuck and forgot about it for a while, until now.

For anyone curious about the technical details, it's a Rust program that wraps `ssh`, copies a small statically compiled binary to the remote, and uses SSHFS/SFTP (haven't decided yet, maybe configurable?) to allow your local editor to access the remote files as easily as local ones
