Show HN: Portname – named localhost URLs for every dev server

https://github.com/hirendhola/portname
3•hrncode•2h ago
Tired of localhost:3000 clashing with other projects. Built portname — a local proxy that gives every dev server a named URL instead of a port.

portname run dev → myapp.localhost:1999

Auto-detects Vite/Next/Nuxt, patches config automatically, proxies WebSocket so HMR works. Single binary, no dependencies.

This looks really clean, thanks for sharing! Does it work with custom domains too, or is it localhost only? I've got a project that needs to test against a specific domain locally.
hrncode•1h ago
localhost only for now — portname works with *.localhost subdomains which browsers resolve automatically so no config needed.

for custom domains like myapp.company.com you'd need to manually add it to your hosts file (/etc/hosts on Mac/Linux, C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows) pointing to 127.0.0.1.

custom domain support is something i'd like to add in future
