Dev Connect

Instantly share your localhost website with anyone in the world and see what your friends are building.

Features

  • Expose your localhost on the internet
  • Connect to anyone's localhost through a connection key
  • Multiport support
  • Future goal: Restrict the number of peers that can connect
  • Purely decentralized – built using Hypertele, Hyperswarm, Node.js, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.

How It Works

Dev Connect provides a seamless way to share your development environment with peers without complex configurations. The platform offers four main options:

  1. Start Sharing - Instantly expose your localhost to the internet
  2. Stop Sharing - Close the connection and stop sharing
  3. Connect - Connect to a peer's localhost using a connection key
  4. Disconnect - Disconnect from a peer's localhost
