Friendly project names!
We’ve released a big improvement for how a project can be accessed from the Internet! Previously, the URL used to load a project’s website would look something like this:
https://cb498f48059d635e5393b1b0a51c2c9e--8080.nt.run
This presented a number issues:
- It just wasn’t that friendly, and really downright strange.
- It was impossible to type.
- The double dashes (--) would turn into a―in many text editors.
- Most importantly, it changed with each session (re-launch of the project).
Now, a project will have a URL like this:
https://liberated-duckling-apgt-8080.nt.run
Much friendlier! And this URL stays the same through multiple sessions, allowing you to bookmark it and return to it later.
Here’s how we describe these URLs:
- “Subdomain”: liberated-duckling
- “Domain”: apgt
- Port: 8080
- “Extension”: nt.run
We have many other improvements related to these URLs in the works. For now, we hope you enjoy these friendlier URLs!
