amalshaji/portr — Expose local http, tcp or websocket connections to the public internet

Description and use

**portr** is an open‑source tool that creates secure tunnels, allowing developers to expose local HTTP, TCP, or WebSocket services to the public internet with a single command. It works as a lightweight DevTools utility, handling the connection routing and TLS termination so you can share or test local applications without needing complex proxy setups or cloud deployments.

Problem

amalshaji/portr helps ship user-facing interfaces with less custom UI work.

Outcome

Medium: useful for prototypes or internal workflows, with dependency and maintenance checks before production.

Workflow

• build product UI faster
• reuse interface components
• improve frontend delivery
