Awesome (as always) Josh! I was thinking on simplifying my dev env using 5 meteor servers running and 3 ngrok for testing... and you just helped me make it simple. Thanks a ton. God Bless!

Nice Josh and thank you. Just starting to set this up and really see the value. I was starting to go a little crazy keeping all the different dev environments straight!

Hi. That's really cool that your local dev app works on https. Does anyone know where I can find some instructions for getting that set up. I've been on the hotel github page and don't see anything there. Looks like Josh has it working but not sure how he got it working.

Hey Josh, great post, awesome tool, thank you! It would be nice to have a link in description tho, so that we visually challenged don't have to zoom in to video to get the repo address ;)

I love this!

But, hotel won't show the log from the app.log file. I can do 'tail -f app.log" in my file and it works, but hotel just shows a blank page right to the sidebar. What to do?
