    Hey HN! localtunnel's server needs random ports per client. That doesn't work on Fly.io or behind strict firewalls. We rewrote it in TypeScript and added multiplexing over a single port. Open-source and 100% self-hostable. Public instance at *.pipenet.dev if you don't want to self-host. Built at Glama for our MCP Inspector, but it's a generic tunnel with no ties to our infra. https://github.com/punkpeye/pipenet

    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 :)

    Hey HN, We built Ductape to make backend integrations reusable and environment-agnostic. You define the logic once (e.g. payments, auth, notifications) and externalize provider-specific stuff like API keys, endpoints, and retries into a config. That logic can then be reused across services, projects, and environments without rewriting code. It’s like decoupling your service logic from your infrastructure. You can even switch providers by changing config, not code. We’re using it to save time, reduce bugs, and simplify service expansion. Curious what you think. We’ve been building quietly and…
