Homeport

Maker's first comment Hey everyone 👋 I'm the maker of Homeport. I built it because my laptop always has too many local projects: a Laravel API, a Next.js frontend, a Python worker, Postgres, Redis… Every morning meant opening five terminal tabs, remembering which command and port each one used, and finding out an hour later that the worker had crashed without anyone noticing. Homeport puts all of them in one place: - Runs any stack. Point it at a folder (or your whole ~/Projects) and it works out the framework, the package manager and a free port. It handles Laravel, Node, Python, Rails, Go, Rust, .NET, Docker Compose and more. - Named URLs like shop.localhost:7777 instead of port numbers. - Shareable links. One click gives any running app a public link, with an optional password and an expiry so nothing stays open by accident. No account needed. - Phone preview. Scan a QR code and the app opens on your phone over Wi-Fi. - "Why?" button on crashes. It reads the log, explains the problem in plain words (port in use, missing package, no .env, database down) and offers a one-click fix. It works offline. - Databases as apps. Start Postgres, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB or Mailpit with one click. - Workspaces, Git status on every card, logs that survive restarts, live CPU and memory, and a ⌘K command palette. It's free, open source (MIT), and has no account and no telemetry. Everything runs on your own computer. It works on macOS, Windows and Linux. I'd love your feedback, especially: 1. Which framework or setup it doesn't detect for you. You can add one with a small JSON recipe. 2. What would make you switch from your current setup? Thanks for checking it out. I'll be here all day answering questions 🙏
