The way how you implemented "man" ("man ls" for instance) shows how a convenient shell can look like. Pigshell could be a foundation for a completely new kind of toolchain for web development. I am thinking of seemless integration of JS editors, D3 graphics for pipe output, etc. ... Wait - it's already working :-)
The way the man page is formatted is great but I don't like the scrollbar inside a scrollbar effect. It's been traditionally a worst practice. It's better to have the man page take all the vertical space it needs in the main frame and add a Close button to the end of the man.
By the way, from http://pigshell.com/v/0.6.2/doc/psty.html "Websocket server: Every unix app on the desktop which uses stdin/stdout can participate in a pigshell pipeline" so maybe your request has already been implemented.

If it just were possible to access the bare bone hardware so that we wouldn't be restricted to the JS world (in a closed environment, of course).
