While the paradigm of having a webhook makes more sense, I personally hate working with them. I've yet to see a graceful way of handling local development that doesn't involve localtunnel (or some alternative) and constantly having to un-register and re-register endpoints every time localtunnel gives you a new hostname. I understand the point and would prefer working with them if there was just a good way to handle local development.

This is a great point, is there a better way to do local dev with webhooks? I always used localtunnel which is great it not perfect.

I personally think you should be using one that gives you permanent URLs (ngrok or Passageway) but that also keeps a log when you're client is disconnected. I'm pretty sure only our Passageway does that.
