Slim tunnels localhost with clean HTTPS

Slim is a Go CLI that maps local ports to trusted HTTPS domains and can also expose them on public slim.show URLs. It bundles certificate handling, hosts-file updates, CORS, websocket proxying, and path routing so local dev setups stay low-friction.

// ANALYSIS

Slim is the kind of boring-looking infrastructure tool that quietly saves hours; it wins by deleting the glue work between “runs on my machine” and “usable by someone else.”

  • Trusted local certs and automatic hosts entries make HTTPS feel native instead of bolted on.
  • `slim share` adds public URLs with password protection and TTLs, which is cleaner than ad hoc tunneling for quick demos.
  • Path routing and `.slim.yaml` make multi-service apps easier to reproduce across a team.
  • Built-in websocket and HMR support matters because modern dev stacks often break first at the proxy edge.
