Expose

In plain words

Expose is an open-source tunneling tool that creates public URLs for local websites, enabling users to access development sites from anywhere and share them securely through firewalls. It allows developers to receive webhooks locally, test sites on mobile devices, and collaborate by sharing access with others. The solution works across any firewall and is designed for developers and technical teams who need to expose local environments publicly during development and testing.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
