Possibly I am missing something, but is it different from, say, nginx's `root /var/www/$http_host`? The description sounds as if a whole web server is written for that feature.

Same for Caddy which is even easier than nginx https://caddyserver.com/
Caddy’s awesome! Switched our local development stack from nginx to caddy.

Especially love how easy it is to set up localhost subdomains and ssl.

yeah, it can be done entirely on nginx side in like 10 lines.
While your comment is valid, there's a whole generation of developers (me included) who are more aware of Node ecosystem than Nginx.
ha, 1) nginx is a webserver not a development ecosystem, and 2) You'll probably find if you look that many people using Node are also using nginx, because they are complementary, not exclusionary, and 3) open your eyes and reality a bit
1/ what's a webserver? 2/ Is a node application serving requests not a webserver?
These are not even remotely comparable. nginx is a webserver.
This is why I'll never hire a "full-stack developer".
Nice,

Can you point me to an example I would love to check it out
