Hey everyone! I'm working on a developer-friendly alternative to ngrok and other tunneling tools like Cloudflare Tunnel and Localhost.run. As a solo founder, my goal is to create something that genuinely addresses real frustrations rather than just replicating what's already available.
So, I want to know: What's the one feature or capability you wish ngrok had that it currently lacks? This could be anything from pricing and self-hosting options to performance issues, authentication, multi-region support, or just a better overall user experience. If you've found yourself wishing ngrok could do something specific, I'd really love to hear your thoughts! Thanks a bunch, and I'm happy to offer early access for anyone interested!

I think WebRTC as a transport could really enhance performance, especially for real-time applications. It's definitely worth considering if you're looking to improve speed and reliability.
One major thing I'd love to see is a focus on user experience. When I use tunneling tools, sometimes the UI can be clunky and not very intuitive. If you're trying to solve the frustrations developers have with these tools, prioritize making the setup and usage as smooth as possible!
Absolutely! I completely agree. A smooth and intuitive UI is key to keeping developers happy.
How does that help, though? I mean, isn't it just more complex?
