Hi @inconshreveable, happy user for many years and have done some crazy ngork remote setups to make systems like gitpod / docker work with ngrok.

Question for you - do you have a plan in mind for handling teams?

Right now it seems like the only way to handle it is with a manual naming convention:

https://{my-team-name}-{my-name}-api.ngrok.io

And then every single team member has to copy this convention by hand and you have to register webhooks, etc with these new routes.

It gets tedious fast.

Do you have ideas to work around this or register team members behind the scenes and still route traffic appropriately?

[inconshreveable]

can you tell me a little bit more about what's tedious about it and/or the higher-layer problem you're trying to solve?

edit: feel free to email me as well at alan at ngrok dot com

Disclaimer: I'm currently incubating a similar product.

Honestly I would be very interested in hearing what you think the best plan for competing with Cloudflare Tunnel is. I've been keeping a close eye on this space for a couple years now, and Tunnel seems well on its way to dominating the mindshare.

It can be very hard to compete with a bundled loss-leader offering.

happy to chat more about our future plans offline, feel free to send me a note. i’m alan at ngrok dot com. would be curious to see what project you’re incubating!

[anderspitman]

Fair enough. I'll take you up on that.
