Hi, I think it would be awesome to support an xterm.js client in guacamole. For
authentication, Guacamole would need to handle Basic Authentication which is
supported by both ttyd/gotty. Gotty also supports using certificates. The ssh
connection is pretty awesome, but it is limited in it's ability to copy/paste
from the host and also experiences some lag. Xterm.js is a very popular front
end for remote connections and I think it would be pretty cool to support this
interface through guacamole.

You shouldn't be experiencing any significant lag except for that common to
your network.
If you are experiencing abnormal lag, that is something that should be
identified and addressed, but the answer is not to incorporate another,
distinct project with a different architecture just for specific protocols. Any
improvement to the handling of protocols which leverage a terminal would need
to stay within the core architecture (a single super-protocol, server-side
handling of connection state, independence from the client with respect to
appearance of the rendered display) as that is fundamental to how Guacamole is
able to function as well as it does. There may be room for improvement to the
protocol to make things like text rendering less expensive, but absorbing
something as specific as a JavaScript terminal emulator would be a step in the
wrong direction.

You're in the right place, and this is definitely the way to request a new
feature. The specifics of this request are just not in line with the
architecture of Guacamole, and that architecture is fairly critical to
performance, security, and the flexibility of the project as a whole. If you
are encountering specific issues, then the path forward would be to understand
the nature of those issues and resolve them as they stand.
