Every time I used ngrok for quickly sharing my localhost site, I just prayed no bots finds it and start extracting.
I found a way to share localhost in a more controlled way where instead I have a invite only mechanism where I will manually approve or block the IP(s) that makes a request.
That's what Smuggl does, so you can smuggl your localhost to specific people rather than carrying it over the open world.
A while ago I launched Macky with only terminal access to Mac. But since people were vibe coding with terminal there was need to see how the app has turned out.
So I added Remote Desktop mode to check how app looks.
It works by establishing a direct P2P WebRTC tunnel between your Mac and iPhone. It is secure by design. My server introduces the devices but never sees the data stream and allow listing so you have to manually approve your iPhone on the Mac first.
Now you can access both your terminal and full desktop from iPhone!
I wanted a way to access my mac terminal from my iphone without setting up any vpn or weird router rules and then buying a separate ssh app in app store.
So I built macky.dev as a fun side project.
When the mac app is running it makes an outbound connection to my signaling server and registers itself under the account. iPhone also connects to this same signaling server to request a connection to this mac. Once both the host and remote are verified it establishes a direct p2p webrtc connection.
I was sick of finding out that a cloud provider was down when casually doomscrolling on X while chilling at the beach. So I built Pingy as a fun side project which sends me a push notification whenever a cloud provider is expereincing an outage or a degradation.
AWS, Cloudflare, Azure, Stripe, Vercel and 50+ more are tracked. I just pushed it to App Store yesterday. If you are paranoid like me then I think you will love "Pingy" on the App Store.

I have it setup to be run autonomously as much as possible, the company will never go out of business (nothing is 100% but I will make sure to fight to the very end) cause I plan to just bulk buy servers once I have enough users. Lifetime currently should be up to 100 years, because it is low maintenance, I don't think server cost will affect stuff, but in future I plan to charge by 10 year period, but for now it should be 100 years.
AI images pretending to be art, fake creativity, infinite noise. I realized I was scrolling constantly and seeing nothing made by an actual person.
So I made *Slop*.
It’s doomscrolling, but only with real human art like paintings, sculptures, manuscripts, weird old illustrations all created long before generative AI existed.
I originally built this just so I could quickly SSH into my server from my iPhone without copying keys around and didn't want to pay for some overpriced apps. It turned into a full SSH client that keeps everything in sync across all my devices.
It’s end-to-end encrypted and intentionally not a subscription.
Curious how you’re managing SSH across devices today, and happy to chat in the comments.
I made Piixes because I kept needing pixel art icons and couldn’t find a large set that was actually free and consistent.
Piixes is a collection of 15,000+ pixel art icons, generated with AI and lightly curated so they all work together. You can use them for personal or commercial projects.
I’ll keep adding more icons over time.
If something’s missing, let me know.
