Pinggy

In plain words

Pinggy creates public URLs for localhost applications through secure tunnels, requiring only a command to set up. It supports HTTP, TCP, and TLS protocols, works across firewalls and NATs, and includes a built-in request debugger. The tool is designed for developers who need to expose local applications for testing, debugging, and deployment without installing additional software.

From the sources

Pinggy provides secure tunnels to localhost with a single command for developing, testing, and deploying your website or app easily. Create HTTP, TCP or TLS tunnels to your Mac / PC even if it's behind firewalls and NATs. Debug requests with built in debugger.

Pinggy is the simplest way to bring your localhost projects online. It the the fastest way to create secure tunnels to localhost with a public url.

Make your developement experience smoother by unlocking the full potential of Pinggy. If the ssh command prompts you for a password you can just press enter (a blank password). Or you can type in something random and press enter. In windows, sometimes, the ssh tunnel cannot reach localhost because of some bug in the ssh client. Replace localhost with 127.0.0.1 in your Pinggy command. Pinggy relies on SSH remote port forwarding. The option -R 0:localhost:8000 in the command only implies that connections to the public URL given by pinggy are forwarded to your localhost:8000 . No other port than the one specified by you can be accessed by Pinggy or by anyone through the public URLs provided by…from pinggy.io

  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. 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…
