This issue proposes an alternative way to generate terminal output to the browser
from a process that does not dependent on js libraries but still looks great.
Drew Devault uses this method in builds.sr.ht, the continuous integration
system/app that is part of the SourceHut suite.
builds.sr.ht generates terminal output using jinja templates and a relatively
small python library called ansi2html. It is already packaged by guix upstream
as python-ansi2html (It could use an update).

Here are two examples of it in action at builds.sr.ht:

And, the relevant places in builds.sr.ht code base:

https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/builds.sr.ht/tree/master/item/buildsrht/blueprints/jobs.py#L333
I've added a diagram showing how it will integrate with binderlite.
