How Localians works
Localians connects a public HTTPS preview URL to a development server running on your machine. Visitors open the link in their browser and are routed to your local app. Nothing is deployed and your code stays on your computer.
Because the preview is served from your machine, your development server and the Localians connection must keep running for the link to work. Localians is not a replacement for production hosting.
