Holesail.io
Hi guys, Wanted to share a project I have been working on for a while https://github.com/holesail/holesail It is a lightweight reverse proxy similar to Ngrok but works over peer-to-peer tunnels and requires absolutely no configuration. No port forwarding, no VPNs, no servers in the middle just a direct, end-to-end encrypted connection between two peers using a simple connection key. It supports both UDP and TCP and runs on Linux, Mac, Windows, Android and iOS and has a Node API that can be used to integrate it into any Android, iOS or CLI app. The goal is to make Holesail…

What it does
Holesail is the simplest way to expose your local apps, games, and development servers to anyone—without port forwarding, VPNs, or complex setup. Share any localhost service through a secure peer-to-peer tunnel using a single connection key. Host websites, play LAN-style multiplayer, collaborate on dev environments, or access your machine remotely in seconds. All traffic is end-to-end encrypted, stays directly between peers and never touches a server.
Create P2P tunnels instantly that bypass any network, firewall, NAT restrictions and share your local servers with the world securely. No Dynamic DNS required.
In the maker’s words, at launch

Pi-hole deployed at the edge on Fly.io and accessed via TailScale2022 · github.com · ▲58Hi, I just saw this tweet[^1] by @QuinnyPig that mentions accessing your Pi-hole while traveling thanks to TailScale and wondered how to deploy Pi-hole at the edge, instead of a home lab, for improved latency. My simple solution involves running it on Fly.io to make it easy to relocate anywhere, and embedding tailscale into the same firecracker VM (né docker container) to keep the infra dead simple and cheap. Naively deploying a publicly accessible DNS resolver is not ideal[^2] so the main constraint was to secure the VM by 1) keeping all public ports closed and 2) having Pi-hole listen only…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
