I had to look into the meta tags to get a better description: `<meta property="og:description" content="Effortless live publishing for web developers">`

so I guess the target audience is developers who do not know how to configure a web server, setup proxies or other means of testing webhooks maybe? maybe there is a market for a product like this but obviously I would not be target audience either...

I work for a small company and do lots of work that would be nice to just share with my boss through a service like this versus having to deploy. I think it's more for a testbed than a replacement for actual web servers.

SSH remote port forwarding is your friend. You just need an ssh server somewhere thats publicly accessible.

Hence this service which would appear to be much easier than setting up a persistent remote ssh server with port forwarding.

Check out ngrok. It's absolutely brilliant for what you're describing.

I remember doing it before from my macbook. I'm not sure if that's a feature or not in os x anymore?

I will second this! I have tried a bunch of them looking for a viable apt-get type solution on my Windows dev machine. On the Mac I can use homebrew, but Chocolatey was nowhere close to homebrew... Scoop is the viable alternative.

agreed - it is the best one that I have found thus far.

You're joking right? It's hard to catch typed sarcasm...

If not - then maybe this should help explain how Vanilla JS works ;-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript

Vanilla JS is a fast, lightweight, cross-platform framework for building incredible, powerful JavaScript applications.

Agreed! doesn't anyone know how to write vanilla JavaScript anymore?

Pretty hard to learn vanilla JavaScript when you're stuck in the mud 8 abstractions above it, trying to keep up.
