Ask HN: Thinking about open-sourcing my paid software

Hi startup experts, I work on Lokal.so for 4 month , but there is another thing I'm need to focus onnow, I really need a suggestionWhat I'm gonna do with Lokal is:1. Making it open source but with BSL License 2. Making it free for personal use (non-profit related) 3. License key needed if you are going to use the software for commercial/profit-related purpose. 4. The cloud version is still...

> I read a post recently where someone bragged about using Kubernetes to scale all the way up to 500,000 page views per month. But that’s 0.2 requests per second. I could serve that from my phone, on battery power, and it would spend most of its time asleep.

lmao

I'm sorry If any of my narration makes you misunderstood

the AI did not give you https on localhost

the AI only assisting based on your question

Re:Show HN: I made a tool to HTTPS your localhost on Sunday July 21, 2024 @02:57PM (#41027264)
pardon me for my bad english, english was not my native language and yet I forgot to use AI to correct my title

basically the title only say 10% of what this software can do, the other feature as visible on Lokal.so site

people might call it ngrok alternative, well it could, but ngrok doesn't have features like Lokal's do

so what's this software basically do is:

Share: your localhost with Public and https .local Address Debug: What's Incoming, Replay without triggering real WebHook Develop: further with AI Assistant help!

if you still don't understand about what this software could do, I'm afraid I'm running out of word to explain this on your-own terms.

appreciate it

interesting found, while the primary purpose of tailscale are easier P2P connection, I might take a look how this real Let's Encrypt certificate are being used for .local/custom FQDN and implement it on Lokal, appreciate it.
Re:Show HN: I made a tool to HTTPS your localhost on Sunday July 21, 2024 @02:28PM (#41027046)
no sir, the default .local are still accessible

on Macbook, you could check General > Sharing > scroll the bottom and you will see something like RUBIs-MacBook-Pro.local, and it's still working.

Re:Show HN: I made a tool to HTTPS your localhost on Sunday July 21, 2024 @02:05PM (#41026847)
I want it to be able to receive command to resend and modify a request

but I will never get it into launch if all I thinking is to add more features

so currently it's only providing related information of inspected request to the chat session, so our user don't manually copying context again to a chatgpt or similar.

interesting use case....
Re:Show HN: I made a tool to HTTPS your localhost on Sunday July 21, 2024 @12:55PM (#41026356)
I see, thank you for your suggestion

Here I made temporary image version (basically screenshotting the google sheet)

Re:Show HN: I made a tool to HTTPS your localhost on Sunday July 21, 2024 @12:50PM (#41026323)
you are correct, appreciate it for the report , I will change the docs on self hosted deployment.
Re:Show HN: I made a tool to HTTPS your localhost on Sunday July 21, 2024 @12:41PM (#41026262)
I don't think real certificate provider could work with .local mDNS address as they need to do some public verification going on

the second answer is, ssh -L are just pretty slow on concurrent request, I might think it's just bloat as there is so much thing happen on ssh that not required for tunneling, also it doesn't do vhost natively as on Lokal you can just choose which domain you want to use, and it's just works...

Re:Show HN: I made a tool to HTTPS your localhost on Sunday July 21, 2024 @12:29PM (#41026181)
yes, sure thing it's really easy to do and makes your focus changed on making local https working instead of building your real product

Re:Show HN: I made a tool to HTTPS your localhost on Sunday July 21, 2024 @12:06PM (#41026045)
it is indeed has .local address, but does it have built-in auth plugin? request and response manipulation?, AI Assistant, JSON debugging capabilities and even the File Preview feature?, I don't think the can compete with Lokal right now

Hi, what channel you suggest for this kind of product?
Re:Show HN: I made a tool to HTTPS your localhost on Sunday July 21, 2024 @12:03PM (#41026015)
Hi, I make detailed comparison on excel about this question

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BzvPRA2ZK5ekSaTV5vyr...

basically ngrok's traffic inspection is only available by last month, right, they are old player but pretty late on shipping things.

also, we had an AI Assistant.
