    A simple self-hosted ngrok alternative▲34

    This is a proof of concept utility which allows you to expose local services to the internet at large: https://github.com/skx/tunneller In short it is a simple ngrok alternative, which you can self-host. Because it is a proof of concept it hasn't been tested extensively, but it seems like it will solve my immediate-needs. Of course it needs test, and structure added. But feedback can't hurt :)

    Open-source tools for devs who don't like ads▲5

    Hey HN, wanted to share a new collection of dev utilities that are ad-free, client-side (nothing leaves your device), with a command+k menu for fast search. github.com/jamdotdev/jam-dev-utilities Why?

Lots more tools still to…

    Generate .env files from various secret providers via checked-in config▲9

    Hi! I've been frustrated with the secret sharing situation in serverside javascript land for a while; the common thing is to just toss .env files around on Slack to get someone's app working, or involves some kind of convoluted setup to get a blob from a storage and turn it into environment variables via commands I have to copy paste every time. But everyone uses secret storage providers, e.g. shared password vaults, cloud secrets, etc., so why not leverage those as URIs in a JSON file that can be checked in to source control? I want something simple that would just generate the darn .env…
