What makes this seem like a non-developer tool? You need a server you control, you need to mess with YAML files, "configure Caddy" is one step that's assumed to be easy, etc.
- Eun 4y agoIt says literally: > Not everyone is a dev who knows about server operations. For people working as community managers, sales, and PMs, booting up something locally could already be a stretch and requiring them to understand how to set up and fix server problems is a waste of team's productivity.
- remexre 4y agoOh, I read that as "you can send the links to community managers, sales, and PMs rather than making them run the app locally," since that's like, the main usecase.
- Eun 4y agoAh could also be, but the whole sentence was like this: > Why not just pick one from the Awesome Tunneling? Think broader. Not everyone is a dev… So I read this as targeting non devs. I think every other alternative from that list also supports common usable links.
- pcthrowaway 4y agoFrom their docs: Why? Stable subdomains and SSO are two things too expensive. Why not just pick one from the Awesome Tunneling? Think broader. Not everyone is a dev who knows about server operations. For people working as community managers, sales, and PMs, booting up something locally could already be a stretch and requiring them to understand how to set up and fix server problems is a waste of team's productivity. Copy, paste, and run is the best UX for everyone.
