Announcing LocalCan version 2.3.0 🎉

Public URLs improvements

Limit increase: we've increased the limit of Public URLs you can create from 3 to 5. More flexibility means more simultaneous live previews, making it easier to manage multiple aspects of your projects.
Extended persistence: we understand the importance of longevity; thus, inactive Public URLs now persist for up to 5 days, up from the previous 1 day. This increase allows for more durable testing and sharing periods, giving your stakeholders more time to review and interact with your work.

Other improvements

Connection tester: introducing a connection tester tool when adding a new domain. This addition checks if your target server is reachable, saving you time and eliminating the guesswork in troubleshooting connectivity issues.
Better error messages: now, errors related to Public URLs, such as expiry notices or connectivity issues, are explicitly displayed inside its dropdown menu.

We're committed to making LocalCan the best tool for developers looking to share their local projects with the world. These updates are part of our ongoing efforts to respond to your feedback and improve your experience.

2.2.0

5 months ago • Monday, December 11, 2023

Announcing LocalCan version 2.2.0 🎉

New Feature: 🃏 Wildcard subdomains for Local domains

This is a powerful feature, particularly for those working on multi-tenant applications.

What's New:

Wildcard Subdomains: You can now publish domains in the format *.app.local. This feature enables a catch-all functionality for any subdomain requested under your primary domain.

Key Benefits:

Flexibility: Manage multiple subdomains under a single wildcard domain. This feature is particularly useful for apps that have multiple microsites or services. You no longer need to add each subdomain individually.
Simplified Development: Ideal for multi-tenant app development, where each tenant requires a unique subdomain.

Thank you for your support!

2.1.0

5 months ago • Thursday, November 30, 2023

Prettify JSON and view decompressed payload (gzip, deflate)
Display the request IP address
Compact and condensed list layout
Automatically select the newest requests

No need for a target server to view requests

Updates to Local domains using reverse proxy:

Potentially breaking change: The reverse proxy will now use local domain (e.g. app-name.local) to set the Host header, instead of using target server address for that (usually it was localhost or 127.0.0.1). This change aligns the behavior with Public URLs, which use the actual host address in the Host header.
Local domains will respond with 502 Bad Gateway when the target server is not available. This change aims to maintain consistency in behaviors with Public URLs.

Thank you for your support!
