Summary

Hi,

I could not find this feature request in the issues nor in the roadmap., but sorry if this has been requested before.

It'd be nice to have the possibility to get a shareable URL when developing on a local machine, without having to deploy. All the code and dependencies would be on the local machine.

Why?

There are at least two use cases:

quickly share to other people a WIP version without having to deploy it
quickly share to oneself. e.g. when developing on a VM; otherwise it's not possible to easily view the app in the browser

How?

make exposing the URL from local machine easy

Additional Context

Gradio does that

I have used cloudflared in the past for that purpose and it is quite simple. Say, for example, you have a streamlit application running locally at localhost:8501, then you can tunnel that through cloudflared:

./cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:8501

That will return a quick tunnel with a public URL:

Besides cloudflared, there are also some other tunnel solutions like ngrok or localtunnel. I will keep this feature request open. If there is enough interest, maybe we will integrate a native solution into the Streamlit CLI directly.
