Most of them will have much fewer visitors in the future, so their ad revenue will decrease to the point that they may not even consider keeping their domains. People will have their own toolboxes that they build themselves. You could say these tools evolving into something more personal and customized.
> I’m posting this from a library Wi-Fi on a burner laptop because I am technically under a massive NDA. I don’t care anymore. I put in my two weeks yesterday and honestly, I hope they sue me.
Why bother using library Wi-Fi on a burner laptop if he doesn't care anymore? Why give out the biggest clue, which is the time of his resignation letter?
If the story is real, this company is a straight-up scammer waiting for the biggest headline and lawsuit of the year.
Well, if you're using Mantine and Tabler Icons, there's a high chance your site will look very similar to this, regardless of how you build it.
Disclaimer: I used Claude to generate the landing page. I used to build Mantine pages by hand as well, but they all looked kind of the same since I didn't customize the styles or components.
Just want to add more info here:
wsgrok is a local tunneling tool similar to ngrok, but it uses websocket and protobuf to perform reverse proxying over TLS between the server domain and the agent running on your local machine. you can pin the region closest to you or your target server, and wsgrok currently supports 4 regions across the US, with plans to add 4 more in India, Spain, Finland, and Taiwan.
some services offer native data transmission over encrypted channels like SSH tunneling. one of the advantages of those services is that you don't need to download a binary, but the downside is that you can't inspect the traffic. that's why wsgrok takes the same approach as ngrok because I think inspecting request and response data is very important in development. I know trust is critical for this kind of service, which is why I plan to open source it so users can install it on their own servers or build the agent from source.
I'm using this service myself to develop our commercial products. We've got to eat our own dog food :)
Can you elaborate on that? The subdomain in wsgrok is static. However, you can bind it to any local port of your choice when running a client. You don't need to update the domain across your workflows if you create a dedicated subdomain for each one.
