I'll show you how you can quickly and easily turn http://localhost:3000 into https://your-custom-domain.test to improve your webdev experience in 3 minutes.
Just open your terminal and install novus
$ brew tap jozefcipa/novus
$ brew install novus
$ novus init
After that, define your URL with a single command 🤩
$ novus serve your-custom-domain.test http://localhost:3000
And that's it.
Now, you can start using HTTPS locally with your custom domains and forget annoying localhost URLs 🎉

If you’re getting tired of localhost:3000 URLs while working on your development projects, it might be time to consider setting up a custom domain or using a tunneling service like ngrok. This way, you can access your local server from anywhere without the need to keep using localhost links. Additionally, if you're working with front-end projects, tools like Vite or Webpack Dev Server allow for quicker, more efficient local development.
