Maybe it's a case of "If you have to ask what it does it's not for you", but from the expose webpage it is not clear to me at all what it does.

- yakshaving_jgt 6y agoLooks like a competitor to ngrok.
- beaconstudios 6y agoI've used similar services for Web hooks - if you're developing eg. a slack bot you'd have to deploy to a public url constantly without a tool like this, which shows down development considerably.
- aussieguy1234 6y agoIt will give a server (website or api) you have running on your local machine a public url. Like @beaconstudio below mentioned it could be used to test webhooks. Other uses are testing local sites on mobile devices, like I just did to give the mobile experience of expose.sh a revamp. Its faster than running adb, rooting your phone or connecting a cable and doing mobile debugging. There are other tools, although expose.sh is focused purely on http/https and not other protocols, this makes the syntax a bit easier as you don't have to specify a protocol, just a port i.e. "expose 80" instead of "ngrok http 80" (using ngrok as an example).
