Darn. Pageant would've been a nice name though. Maybe `page-agent.js` is more relevant in web dev community.
I think page agent is good. I've never heard of putty's pageant. And I think it's better to distinguish it from general meaning of pageant (for beauty).
I think every successful Show HN post ends up with a "thought this was about X" or "didn't look up the name first?" comment. Consider it a win! I don't think anyone will mistake a tool for putty with your tool, but you might share a google search page with it.
