localtunnel VS BitcoinJS

localtunnel/localtunnel - Written in node. Popular suggestion.

Thanks for the history. I maintain this list[0], and wasn't aware of OG localtunnel, likely because there's a somewhat newer and now more popular project with the same name[1]. You appear to be correct on timing. Here's the earliest commits on GitHub for each of the projects:

OG localtunnel (2010): https://github.com/progrium/localtunnel/tree/fb82920d9d3e538...

Other localtunnel (2012): https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel/tree/93d62b9dbb9f...

ngrok (2012): https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok/tree/8f4795ecac7f92...

I'll see that OG localtunnel gets added to the list for posterity.

These is a very common problem. Luckily, it's been solved already. My go-to tool for this was ngrok or localtunnel. Both of these tools are great, but they didn't fit my needs perfectly.

localtunnel — Expose locally running servers over a tunnel to a public URL. Free hosted version, and open source.

Localtunnel used to be a nice tunnel. It has gone through some enshittification lately.

There are free non kafkaesque competitors out there.

I recently went through having to tunnel my development environment to setup an oauth2 flow for a rails integration. I found that using https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel was a better fit.

I prefer localtunnel: https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel

There's also Local Tunnel (http://localtunnel.me)

Not sure if it works combined with ngrok: https://www.npmjs.com/package/localtunnel

Inspired by the popular Coinb.in open source wallet and powered by bitcoinjs-lib, my hot wallet is designed to provide a secure and easy-to-use experience while also adding unique features that make it stand out from the competition. It will be installable (PWA) and very easy to use (BEGINNER FRIENDLY). I'm also going to make it open source. Other cool features like an HD wallet option with auto-change address after every transaction, increasing security and anonymity, are on the roadmap.

You could also probably rely on a JS library to do the above: https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib

Checkout the bitcoin sdk for a language of your preference and try, this can help build the transaction. Javascript for example: https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib ( disclaimer: i never used it, only is a example )

There is also bitcoinjs which is a fantastic and quick way to get hands on coding experience with bitcoin.

If you want to learn up, start here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/bitcoinjs-lib

MyDoge isn't open source, similar to major social media platforms. However, the wallet functionality is built on well-known, trusted open source libraries: https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib https://github.com/novalabio/react-native-bip39 https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bip32 https://github.com/emeraldsanto/react-native-encrypted-storage

https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib looks secure and reliable

The only interaction I had with that development team (at least I think it was that team) is that they were looking for a JS lib to do front-end transaction creation, and I pointed them to bitcoinjs-lib. Haven't heard anything after that.
