localxpose.io sounds like a fantastic tool for developers who need a simple and secure way to share their localhost servers with the world. The ability to create instant HTTPS tunnels, use custom domains, and have access control makes it super convenient for both collaboration and client demos. It’s clear that security and ease of use were top priorities in its development, which is great for anyone working with sensitive projects.
I’d love to hear from other developers—how has localxpose.io improved your workflow, and what’s been your favorite feature so far? Looking forward to seeing how this evolves!
@fberrez Thanks so much! I'm really glad you find LocalXpose useful for working with webhooks.
You make a great point about code editor integration. That would be super handy for developers. We'll definitely keep it on our radar as we plan future features.
Well done on the release of LocalXpose! Your solution for secure, instant access to localhost servers is bound to streamline many development processes. How do you plan to leverage the command-line interface and multiple protocol support in your daily work? 🚀
@andreea_staicu Thanks for your kind words and feedback on LocalXpose! We're excited about its potential to improve development workflows.
As for leveraging the CLI and multiple protocol support, we use it extensively internally alongside our GUI version:
• CLI: Our preferred method for quick, secure access to localhost servers during development and testing. It allows us to pass flags easily to customize connections.
• Multiple Protocol Support: We use this feature to connect to various services like SSH, FTP, or HTTP(S) running on different ports.
The GUI makes things even easier by providing a visual interface for managing connections and settings, making it more accessible for new users or those who prefer a graphical approach.
I came in expecting just another simple local-to-WAN proxy, but was amazed by the selection of utilities offered! I especially love the authentication feature, it'll definitely be a great help to do auth emulations during development. Congratulations on the launch!
@kimchikun Thank you for your enthusiastic feedback and welcome to LocalXpose! We're glad we could exceed your expectations.
We're particularly happy to hear that you found the authentication feature helpful for your dev work – it was designed precisely with use cases like yours in mind.
Enjoy exploring all the other features, and if you have any feedback or encounter any issues, please let us know!
Hey Ahmed,
Are there any limitations on the types of applications that can be exposed?
Do you have plans for integration with popular IDEs or development environments?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin Thanks for your questions and congratulations on finding LocalXpose!
• Limitations: LocalXpose supports all TCP/UDP protocols, so theoretically, there shouldn't be any restrictions on the types of applications that can be exposed.
• IDE Integration: Yes, we definitely have plans to integrate with popular IDEs and development environments. It's currently on our radar, and we'll keep you posted on our progress.
Sounds like a super handy tool for devs who wanna share local projects without the hassle. Tried it out briefly and it looks promising.Nice work,Ahmed.
@noahchristopherbennett Thank you for giving LocalXpose a try and your kind words!
How does the tool manage requests logging and inspection? Are there any specific features for analyzing these logs?
@ahmedlocalxpose, fantastic work on LocalXpose! The ability to use custom domains and secure tunnels is a real game-changer for client demos and collaborations. How does LocalXpose handle high-traffic scenarios, and are there any performance optimizations in place for such cases?
Fantastic app! The performance is quick and the UI is incredibly intuitive, @ahmedlocalxpose. This will fit perfectly into my daily workflow. I’ll be sure to tell my friends and would be glad to connect on LinkedIn!
@ahmedlocalxpose Congratulations on the launch of localxpose.io! It looks like a promising tool for developers. I'm particularly interested in the CLI aspect and how user-friendly it is for those who might not be as CLI-savvy. It's great that you offer instant secure tunnels and custom domain options. My initial thought is that providing more detailed CLI usage examples or a GUI for those less comfortable with command lines could make the tool even more accessible. How do you plan to improve the CLI experience in future updates?
@zephyrion Thank you for your interest in LocalXpose and your thoughtful feedback! We're glad to hear that you found the CLI aspect promising. To address your points:
* LocalXpose does offer a Graphical User Interface (GUI) alongside the CLI for those who prefer a visual approach. You can find it here: https://localxpose.io
* Our documentation includes detailed CLI usage examples and tutorials to help users get started quickly and easily: https://localxpose.io/docs
* We agree that providing more guidance for less experienced CLI users could improve the experience, so we'll make sure to update our docs with additional walkthroughs and best practice guides in future updates.
It seems similar to Ngrok, which I’ve been using for a while. I hope this product is even more user-friendly. @ahmedlocalxpose
I’ve been looking for an easy way to expose my localhost to the internet, and this seems like a simple, secure solution. Definitely going to give it a try!
