Score: 6.0/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 6, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

Expose is a Go-based CLI that creates public HTTPS tunnels to localhost, similar to ngrok, but with a focus on self-hosting and zero signup. It offers multiple providers (including Cloudflare and a self-hosted relay) and aims to be a lightweight, open-source alternative for webhook testing and remote debugging.

Target audience: backend developers, devops, full-stack developers
