How this item is evaluated
RepoRadar assigned xichan96/dinotty a composite score of 8.0 out of 10, placing it in the Gold tier. This score combines weighted sub-signals: usefulness (35%), novelty (18%), momentum (14%), maturity (10%), open-source/build quality (7%), evidence quality (6%), workflow potential (6%), and setup ease (4%). Popularity is tracked separately at 236.0 and never affects the composite score or tier. The risk label of 'high' reflects inherent user-impacting hazards, not generic novelty. Items with no risk flag may still require normal code review before production use.

Risk explanation
Dinotty exposes live terminal sessions, a file browser, reverse-proxied web previews, and an open API, so it should not be placed on the public internet without serious access control; The plugin system and external-device control surfaces widen the execution surface beyond a plain terminal share, so operators should review plugins before enabling them; Because the whole value proposition is persistent remote access to agent sessions, teams should assume any compromise exposes both shell history and whatever the agent can already reach.
