No LocalCan?
Re:Mitigate WebSockets DDoS Attacks with Cloudflare API on Monday June 10, 2024 @09:29AM (#40633455)
Hi! I'm sharing my learnings from mitigating attacks on Webhook.cool, a free online webhook tester that is #3 on Google for "webhook tester", which means lots of traffic and is open to use for everyone (no sign up needed).

Show HN: Ngrok Alternative Without Subscription

https://www.localcan.com/

Just seven months ago, I posted the LocalCan app here, which got a lot of comments and attention. Its focus was solely on local development. This tiny app allowed to publish .local domains on the local network, with automatic HTTPS. See the original post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36954998Fast forward to today, the app has pivoted to become the Ngrok alternative without...

Thanks! This is custom styling and I've used styled-components.

Only you can see your webhooks, unless you enable sharing from the menu. Also, each request can be deleted individually, using trash i con.

Thanks urda, good feedback! There are similar tools, but since it's free, I don't see them as "competition" but rather "more options".

Hi HN! Last year, I built LocalCan app in which you can develop apps using .local domains and Public URLs.Although it allows for testing webhooks too, I wanted to give back and create a free online tool specifically for that purpose! And so, I've made Webhook.coolSimply use your unique webhook URL to send any webhook to it from services like Shopify, Slack, Mailchimp, Trello, GitHub, PayPal,...

Simple is beautiful! I think it could be more than enough for 90% or more use cases, and without over-engineering.

Re:Do homepage video tutorials work for SaaS? on Tuesday August 01, 2023 @02:10PM (#36959973)
I think it highly depends on your product. Main question: is your product easy to understand by others? Before investing time in making this video I'd do a little bit of user research.

1. Ask people if they understand what the product does. You could show it to random people, friends, family.

2. Run a survey on the website - simple question with thumbs up / thumbs down asking "Would you know how to do X with our product"

3. Do a smoke test: add a link in the hero section "I'd like to watch tutorial" and then see how many people actually click on it. There could a message after clicking "We are working in the tutorial, please come back shortly" but you will know if the want it or not.

4. Additionally if you have high bounce rate and people spend very little time on the website, chances are they don't really understand it

Good luck!

If you want to with backend only or machine learning specifically then definitely python. For anything web-related (frontend and/or backed), go with JS/TS

Currently only http 1.1 and no compression. But these could be added in the future.

You need to manually trust on each device. There is a button for that in the app, that shows the Trust certificate dialog. For other devices it quit easy, e.g. you can AirDrop RootCA.pem into the iPhone or iPad.

It's perpetual license. So you can enter the license key on a new device and it will automatically deactivate previous device.

Thanks, glad you find it useful!

Show HN: Local development with .local domains and HTTPS

https://www.localcan.com/

Hi HN! I'm Jarek, and I've built this tool that allows publishing .local domains on the local network using mDNS.It also has a reverse proxy that handles HTTPS termination and port forwarding.I'm working on adding more features, like an index page with all available domains or allowing proxy redirects, so you could redirect from HTTP to HTTPS.Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!
