I've never heard of ngrok, but the instantly obvious use-case is to allow testing of webhooks to my local machine. In the past we've done this by booting a temporary server on AWS and remote forwarding to our local machines, which is quite a bit more complicated. I already work on a node stack, so the npm install is wonderful. I expect I'll get a lot of use out of this. Thanks!


I didn't even think of this. Recently I was implementing MailChimp webhooks and it was a pain. Thanks for the idea.
