Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

TunnelDev CLI

Expose your localhost to the internet. Test webhooks, share work with clients, and collaborate with your team directly from your terminal.

What is TunnelDev?

TunnelDev creates a secure tunnel between your local development server and the internet, giving you a public URL that forwards requests to your localhost. This allows external services and users to access your local application without deploying it.

Why Use TunnelDev?

When developing locally, your server runs on localhost which is only accessible from your machine. TunnelDev solves this by:

  • Creating a public URL that anyone can access
  • Forwarding all incoming requests to your local server
  • Allowing you to test integrations that require public URLs
  • Letting you share your work without deploying

Perfect for testing webhooks, sharing demos, mobile app development, and API testing.

Installation

npm install -g tunneldev

Quick Start

  1. Get your API key from tunneldev.vercel.app/dashboard

  2. Login with your API key:

tunneldev login YOUR_API_KEY
  1. Start a tunnel:
tunneldev 3000

Your local server is now accessible via a public URL.

Usage

tunneldev [port]           # Start tunnel (default: 3000)
tunneldev start [port]     # Start tunnel
tunneldev login <api-key>  # Login with your API key
tunneldev help             # Show help

Examples

# Tunnel localhost:3000
tunneldev

# Tunnel localhost:8080
tunneldev 8080

# Tunnel localhost:5500
tunneldev start 5500

Features

  • Instant setup with zero configuration
  • Secure TLS-encrypted connections
  • Real-time request monitoring in your terminal
  • Works with any local server (Node.js, Python, Ruby, PHP, etc.)
  • Perfect for webhook testing and client demos

Use Cases

  • Test webhooks from Stripe, GitHub, Twilio, and other services
  • Share work in progress with clients without deploying
  • Test mobile apps against your local API
  • Collaborate with remote team members
  • Debug third-party integrations locally
