Hey everyone! 👋 We're thrilled to launch Tunnel to the Product Hunt community! We’ve been building like crazy to get our collaboration features ready for you all to try. With Tunnel, you can create a live preview of your local application and share it with your product designer, product manager, fellow developer, or just a friend to view and interact with. Here’s what you can do with Tunnel: ⚡ Instant live previews: One command to put localhost on the web. 🖱️ Magic cursors: Use your cursor to point out elements for others to see. 💬 Comments: Attach feedback to elements on the site. 📽️ Video chat: Native video chat so you can talk to your remote teammates. 🧑‍💻 VSCode Live Share: Code your website together in VSCode. @davthomxyz, @brwr, and I started working on Tunnel in February as a way to collaborate on local apps with our cross-functional teammates. Our product managers would often ask to see our latest changes, and we were tired of having to deploy our app just for them to quickly look over. While we loved using ngrok to quickly share previews with our team, we also wanted tooling to help them review and iterate on our websites as well. We’re thrilled to share Tunnel with you and we look forward to all your feedback :)

I wonder how does that compete with ngrok

@alexey_kirichun1 We love ngrok! But needed better tooling to power more productive review sessions. So we built in cursors, comments, video chat, and more to give our teammates a set of tools to iterate on the product with us. Think of Tunnel as a superset of ngrok where your teammates will love giving you feedback on your website

@slickstef It will be soon :) Just need to untangle the monolith a bit first. And yeah, you can't edit a Twitter post after 30 minutes and it took me too long to realize :( Thanks for finding us anyway!!
