LocalChannels ->

I wanted to explore a few technical areas, particularly packaging with Homebrew and using Rust as a CLI tool. Additionally, I am eager to give back to a community that has brought me joy over the past 10 years.

So, to be frank (though that's not my name), I grew tired of paying for ngrok for a basic use case: routing public -> local tunneling during development, with a persistent configuration I could start and stop as required.

LocalChannels is about the millionth public to local tunnel tool posted here. It's not groundbreaking; it uses SSE to route the requests to your local machine.

The platform is limited to 1000 "tenants" to maintain performance, and up to three persistent channels per tenant - so once it's full, it's full. I hope someone finds it useful :)
