Hi HN! When integrating with some APIs (specifically for auth flows), many will require a callback URL and unfortunately frequently don't allow localhost. This is annoying for local development and usually requires paying for ngrok and using a tunnel to get around that restriction.

I made LocalForward as an easier option!
