⚡ What Is This?
Ever wanted to share a local project running on localhost with someone else — a teammate, client, or a mobile device? Tools like ngrok are great, but sometimes they require signups, tokens, or CLI setups.
This tool gives you a simple, web-based way to expose your localhost port to the internet — no login, no install, no hassle.
✅ Features
- 🌍 Get a public URL for your localhost port
- 🧪 Great for testing APIs or showing in-progress UI
- 🧱 No installation or signup required
- ⚙️ Built with simplicity and dev workflows in mind
- 🧑💻 Works well for local React/Vite/Next.js/Node apps
🛠 How to Use It
- Go to: scripts.devarif.me/port-share.html
- Enter your localhost port (e.g., 3000, 5173, etc.)
- Click "Share"
- You'll get a public URL you can share with anyone!
⚠️ Make sure the port you're sharing is accessible (not blocked by a firewall or VPN).
🔐 Is It Safe?
Always treat tools like this as temporary development utilities — don’t use them to share sensitive production environments. It’s great for:
- Showing your in-progress app to clients or teammates
- Testing webhooks from external services
- Mobile browser testing on the same network
🙌 Final Thoughts
I’m not the creator of this tool — just someone who stumbled across it and thought other devs would find it super useful. It’s saved me time during development and demos, so I figured it’s worth a share!
If you find it helpful, feel free to bookmark it or share with your team.
