When you run the command tunnelto --port 8000, your localhost is exposed at the tunnelto.dev URL. However, you can also set up your private server and deploy it with any URL you choose.

​​Fresh - (★ 4.6k at GitHub) is a text editor for your terminal: easy, powerful and fast.

Why another text editor? Fresh brings the intuitive, conventional UX of editors like VS Code and Sublime Text to the terminal.

While veterans like Emacs and Vim - and newer editors like Neovim and Helix - are excellent for power users who prefer modal, highly specialized workflows, they often present a steep learning curve for those used to standard GUI interactions. Fresh is built for the developer who wants a familiar, non-modal experience out-of-the-box, without sacrificing the speed and portability of the command line. Keyboard bindings, mouse support, menus, command palette etc. are all designed to be familiar to most modern users.

Architecturally, Fresh is built to handle multi-gigabyte files or slow network streams efficiently, maintaining a negligible memory overhead regardless of file size. While traditional editors struggle with latency and RAM bloat on large files, Fresh delivers consistent, high-speed performance on any scale.

⋅ Built-in SSH tunnels for HTTP/gRPC/WebSocket/SSE.
⋅ OAuth 2.0 built-in - client credentials, password grant, authorization code + PKCE with automatic browser flow and token refresh.
⋅ RestermScript (RTS) resterm focused custom scripting lang for safe, predictable request-time logic (templates, directives, workflows). If you want JavaScript instead - this works too.
