Simple menubar app (made with Electron) for converting localhost adresses to IP number adresses, shareable in local network. ##Why? This is a project for me to learn some Node.js, Electron, JavaScript and the basics of handling a GitHub repository. The app might be very unnecessary, but it's somewhat necessary for me. ##How? When using local server environments (with MAMP for example) the adress to the folders of the server is usually structured with the localhost hostname (i.e. http://localhost:8888/yourfolder) in the beginning. Working in offices with dynamic IP adresses and being in need of sharing WIP website projects with my colleagues (on the same network), I wanted to create this app so that I easily could replace web adresses containing localhost with my current local IP adress (using WebRTC), without having to copy and paste my IP adress from the computers network settings into the localhost adress manually. ####The app works like this
- Copy localhost adress from web browser.
- Paste localhost adress into app.
- Click "Convert".
- The adress gets copied automatically to clipboard with localhost replaced with your current local IP adress.
