⭐ WOOHOO! DockFlare just hit 1,000 Stars! ⭐

[ChrispyBacon-dev]

Hey everyone,

Just had to share the awesome news: DockFlare officially zoomed past 1,000 stars on GitHub! 🎉🚀 Seriously, this is unreal.

When I first started working on DockFlare, it was mostly to automate my own Cloudflare Tunnel setup, hoping maybe a handful of folks would find it useful. It's just incredible to see it hit this kind of milestone, with so many of you using it and getting involved.

A massive, heartfelt THANK YOU to every single one of you. Whether you've starred it, dived into the code (huge shoutout to Martin Adams / @martadams89 for contributing PR!), flagged a bug, thrown in a feature idea, helped someone else in the discussions, or just told a friend, you're the reason this project is where it's at. I'm a solo dev on this and this is a fun weekend to weekend project on the side. Your support and feedback are genuinely what fuel the fire and keep me going. This 1K really feels like a community win!

So, what have I been tinkering with lately? (sneak peek!)

I figured I'd show a little peek at something I'm super excited about. I've been busy building out a a experimental Next.js-based UI for DockFlare! The idea is to make managing tunnels and access policies even smoother, snappier, and "cooler" looking.

Here’s a quick look at how the dashboard is shaping up:

The plan for this new UI is:

• A bit of a visual glow-up, aiming for a "Holographic sci-fi future" kind of vibe (I'm a big sci-fi fan)
• More real-time snappy (thanks to SWR fetching) interactive feel, no more F5 refreshing the browser like in flask....
• Pre flight setup/onboarding no more enviroment files
• API v2 implementation to control more DockFlare instance from a single UI

Seriously, thank you all again. This is a huge encouragement. Here's to the 1,000 ! 🥂

Cheers,
Chris
