The folder is already on my machine, but someone else needs to access it, the just need to open a url in their browser.

The usual options all felt a little heavier than the job:

- upload it somewhere first
- zip it and send it
- deploy it as a temporary site
- configure a server or tunnel manually
- ask the other person to install a tool

So I built Local Bridge.

The idea is:

run one command -> get a browser link -> the other person can browse/download the folder and its files.

works locally/LAN, and it can create a temporary public link through an outbound Cloudflare tunnel if needed.

I am trying to keep the positioning narrow:

- not a replacement for nginx
- not cloud storage
- not a CDN
- not team file governance

It is for temporary folder sharing when a browser link is the easiest recipient experience.

I made Local Bridge because I kept wanting a simpler way to share a folder that was already on my machine.

The basic flow:

run one command -> get a browser link -> the other person can browse/download files.

is meant for temporary sharing sessions, not permanent hosting.

Good examples:

- local build outputs
- docs folders
- release artifacts
- quick client/friend handoff
- LAN sharing

The main thing I would like feedback on:
Does the demo make the use case clear, or does it still feel like "why not just use something?"

I am looking for a few practical testers for a tool I built called Local Bridge.

is for this workflow:
"I have a folder on my machine, and someone else should be able to open it in a browser without me uploading it first."

Examples where I think it might fit:
- sharing a local build output
- sending generated docs
- handing off a folder to a client/friend
- share files over LAN without Samba
- creating a temporary public link without port forwarding

Probably not a fit for:

- permanent hosting
- cloud backup
- team document collaboration
- CDN/public distribution
- highly sensitive E2E transfer use cases

It is a paid product, but I can give a few review codes to people who have a real use case and are willing to give blunt feedback.

Specific feedback I need:

1. onboarding clarity
2. reliability UX around tunnel readiness
3. whether the browser UI makes sense for the recipient
4. what would stop you from trusting it

Disclosure: I built this. It is a paid tool, not an open-source/free project, so I am trying to be upfront.
