Introducing Roxy v0.1.0 - Local HTTPS Development Made Simple

[rbas]

🎉 Roxy v0.1.0 is here!

I'm excited to share the first release of Roxy - a local development proxy that gives you real .roxy domains with trusted
HTTPS certificates.

What is Roxy?

If you've ever been frustrated by:

• Juggling localhost:3000, localhost:8080, localhost:9000...
• Certificate warnings on https://localhost
• Can't test OAuth or webhooks locally because they require real HTTPS
• Editing nginx configs just to route requests

Roxy solves all of this with a single binary and zero config files.

Key Features

• ✓ Custom .roxy domains — myapp.roxy instead of localhost:3000
• ✓ Trusted HTTPS — No more certificate warnings
• ✓ Path-based routing — Route / to port 3000, /api to port 3001
• ✓ Built-in DNS server — No dnsmasq needed
• ✓ Real-time traffic logs — See every request with roxy logs -f
• ✓ Single binary — No nginx, no containers, no dependencies

Quick Start

# Install (macOS ARM64)
curl -LO https://github.com/rbas/roxy/releases/latest/download/roxy
chmod +x roxy && sudo mv roxy /usr/local/bin/

# Setup
sudo roxy install
roxy register myapp.roxy --route "/=3000"
sudo roxy start

# Open in browser
open https://myapp.roxy

What's Next

This is just the beginning! Planned features include:

• Linux support
• Docker network DNS integration
• Wildcard subdomains
• Auto-start on boot

Feedback Welcome!

This is v0.1.0, so I'd love to hear your thoughts:

• What works well?
• What's confusing?
• What features would you find most valuable?

Feel free to open issues, suggest features, or just share your experience using Roxy!
