Local development with .local domains and HTTPSfree tier, from $8/mo▲84Hi HN! I'm Jarek, and I've built this tool that allows publishing .local domains on the local network using mDNS. It also has a reverse proxy that handles HTTPS termination and port forwarding. I'm working on adding more features, like an index page with all available domains or allowing proxy redirects, so you could redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!

Hey HN, Localias is a new tool that you can use to securely manage your local development servers. Use localias to securely proxy a local development server running on http://localhost:3000 and access it at https://frontend.test. Localias is built on top of Caddy, so it's secure and performant. And because it's built on top of Caddy, it will automatically generate and install a custom root certificate, and automatically generate and sign certificates for each of your aliases. This all works by editing your /etc/hosts file and generating a Caddy config, then…

Hey there. Anand, here from LocalOps. We have built a deployment automation tool to provision production environments on AWS and other cloud providers, with just a few clicks. Especially to make Private-SaaS / Single tenant deployments easy. We opened up signups for everyone, after being in closed beta for a while. Checkout https://localops.co Why did we build LocalOps? We found businesses in regulated industries such as Financial services and Healthcare have a lot of restrictions while signing up for B2B SaaS. They can’t share their data as freely as others, need data hosting…

Hi HN! We’re Yann, Edouard, and Bastien from Koyeb (https://www.koyeb.com/). We’re building a platform to let you deploy full-stack apps on high-performance hardware around the world, with zero configuration. We provide a “global serverless feeling”, without the hassle of re-writing all your apps or managing k8s complexity [1]. We built Scaleway, a cloud service provider where we designed ARM servers and provided them as cloud servers. During our time there, we saw customers struggle with the same issues while trying to deploy full-stack applications and APIs resiliently. As…

OP here. I built this because I recently caught myself almost pasting a block of logs containing AWS keys into Claude. The Problem: I need the reasoning capabilities of cloud models (GPT/Claude/Gemini), but I can't trust myself not to accidentally leak PII or secrets. The Solution: A Chrome extension that acts as a local middleware. It intercepts the prompt and runs a local BERT model (via a Python FastAPI backend) to scrub names, emails, and keys before the request leaves the browser. A few notes up front (to set expectations clearly): Everything runs 100% locally. Regex detection…
