Show

How It Works

• showme runs in the background by default (daemonizes, prints URL, exits)
• A local HTTP server + Cloudflare Quick Tunnel creates the public URL
• No account or API key needed
• First run may take ~10-15s to download cloudflared; subsequent runs ~3-5s
• The server keeps running in the background until stopped

Execution Steps

1. Parse the file/folder path from the user's message
2. Resolve to an absolute path if relative
3. Verify the path exists
4. Run showme <path> and capture the URL from stdout
5. Present the URL to the user

Stopping

To stop a running showme instance:

showme --stop

Flags

• --fg — run in foreground (blocks until Ctrl+C)
• --port <N> — use a specific port instead of random
• --stop — stop the running background instance
• --version — print version

Example

User: /show ./design-mockup.png

Claude:
1. showme /Users/elad/dev/project/design-mockup.png
2. Captures URL from stdout
3. Reports: "Here's your download link: https://xyz.trycloudflare.com?dl"

Notes

• The URL is temporary and only works while the background process is running
• Use showme --stop to clean up when done sharing
• Binary is at ~/go/bin/showme (installed via go install)
