LocoHost is a free Chrome add-on developed by Gordon B. Isnor. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. LocoHost aims to provide quick links to localhost at various ports.

The main purpose of LocoHost is to simplify the process of accessing different localhost ports by adding quick links. For example, if you are working with Ruby on Rails at port 3000, Phoenix at port 4000, or Ember at port 4200, LocoHost allows you to set up quick links for each of these ports. This eliminates the need to manually enter the port number in the URL every time you want to access a specific application.

One of the notable features of LocoHost is the ability to specify icons for the quick links. This allows you to easily identify the different applications based on their logos, such as Rails, Ember, Elm, Phoenix, or Middleman. Additionally, you have the option to choose whether the links should open in the current tab or in a new tab.

To enhance usability, LocoHost also provides the option to sort the quick link items. You can either sort them by name or by port number, depending on your preference.

Overall, LocoHost is a useful Chrome add-on for developers who frequently work with localhost ports. With its quick links feature and customizable options, it simplifies the process of accessing different applications running on various ports.
