In addition to the "show your dev work to the CEO" use case, tunnels (ahem, "funnels") like this are useful when you're building functionality that requires pointing webhooks at your devlocal environment.

e.g., if you're building an integration with any of the myriad of SaaS tools that fire webhooks, you can test in devlocal and have a URL of whatever.tunnel.com.

There are tools like ngrok and localtunnel that exist to do just this. I'm looking forward to replacing those with TS Funnels.

that's an excellent use-case, thanks. I didn't think of local machines when they mentioned webhooks in the article.
