For my @webflow folks who have never heard of ngrok…
Been loving @LocalCanApp as an easy way to serve local code to my dev websites. Works with all browsers (no CORS or https errors) and you can assign a Public URL in one button click which makes it super easy to test your dev code on mobile devices.

Do yourself a favour, stop messing with ngrok and just use @LocalCanApp. I’ve been using it to test some internal webhooks and it’s wonderful

Okay, @LocalCanApp is my new favourite developer tool.
I am working on a realtime feature with web app and phones, where it was mandatory for me to have https and the .local urls work so perfectly.🤌

I was super impressed with the ease of @LocalCanApp It made me want to give them money rather than fiddle with configuration. And because it fits my existing use of .local domains in my etc. hosts for each project.

Replaces ngrok and now makes testing webhooks locally an absolute delight.

I just started using @LocalCanApp, and it works perfectly as an ngrok alternative. Congrats!
Persistent Public URLs
Public URLs securely expose your localhost projects to the internet. It's an easy way to share them with your clients and stakeholders, test webhooks, OAuth integrations and more. Use localcan.dev or your own custom domain.
Unlimited local domains
Local domains .local are the most efficient way if you want to test your apps over https or on different devices connected to your Wi-Fi. You can publish unlimited number of .local domains on your local network.
