You Haven't Heard of Sher, But It Solves Your Daily Dev Preview Pain

Every developer has been here: you're working on a feature locally and need to show it to someone. ngrok is overkill and complicated. Copying screenshots doesn't capture the interaction. So you either deploy to staging (slow) or try to walk someone through setting up your local environment (painful).

Sher fixes this with one command that generates instant preview URLs for your Vite, Next.js, or Astro projects. No configuration, no account setup for basic usage, no complex tunneling.

Why This Should Be Everywhere

The video demos show exactly what you'd expect—run the command, get a URL, share it immediately. It works with the frameworks you're already using and doesn't require changing your development workflow.

This is the kind of simple, focused tool that saves hours every week. Design review? Send a link. Bug reproduction? Send a link. Client feedback? Send a link.

The Freemium Model That Actually Works

Sher appears to have a solid free tier with paid options for teams that need more. Unlike tools that gate basic functionality behind paywalls, this gives you the core value immediately.

The fact that it only has 1 vote on most discovery platforms suggests it's flying completely under the radar. But solving universal developer pain points with this level of simplicity usually means it's just a matter of time before it spreads.

Worth trying next time you need to share a preview—might save you from ever setting up ngrok again.
