Basecamp’s Pow project comes to mind.

It enables zero config local development configuration, whereby at the time it would make your locally running dev server available on .dev

So instead of having to spin up a local server and then visiting say 127.0.0.1:3000,

I could instead just visit myappname.dev and it would show me what would previously show on localhost or it would spin up a server first for that app then show it to me.

They switched to .test in response to google’s change.

Official site: https://pow.cx

Thread on change from .dev to .test https://github.com/basecamp/pow/issues/386

Oh woops just habit to set https now. Page is from an earlier time when we didn’t mind static sites not being https.
