Don’t think I’ve ever seen an alternative to ngrok that includes their “Inspection Interface” - that is such a useful feature for debugging.

[PLG88 → johnstonnorth]

I work on the open source OpenZiti project. We recently released zrok (https://zrok.io/), we have Local Debugging Interface in the backlog - https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/73.

Thank you for the suggestion. Hadn’t considered that at all so will investigate.

On: Speed boost achievement unlocked on Docker Desktop 4.6 for Mac

[johnstonnorth]

This is exactly how we configure our development environments after trying all sorts of different combinations.

We find it significantly faster to do macOS + Linux VM + Docker than macOS + Docker for Mac. We're using the Remote Containers plugin in VSCode.

I just tried Docker for Mac 4.6.0 and it is still slower than the above setup - though I think this might be down to bind vs. volume mounts.

[johnstonnorth]

Thanks for point this out - it is amazing. Superpowered has a lot of catching up to do.

One of my favourite quotes:

(but he in turn may have been quoting someone else)

Yes - seeing lots of our sites offline as of 14:45 GMT.

On: Show HN: PCSS = syntactic sweetener for CSS

[johnstonnorth]

Perhaps you could explain what the advantages are of writing CSS using PCSS. I couldn't quite tell from the README how it might improve the workflow - curious to hear more...
