   Local development with .local domains and HTTPS▲84

   Hi 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.

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!
