⚡ 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!
