Webhooks don’t care that your laptop is offline

Short summary

The article explains why tunneling tools fail for webhook development when local environments go offline, then introduces Adal, a tool that separates webhook receipt from local delivery. Adal Server stores incoming webhooks persistently and forwards them to the local application via Adal CLI when it reconnects. The piece compares tunnels, VPS setups, and Adal as solutions for webhook development workflows.

• •Tunnels don't store webhooks when your laptop is offline — providers control retry schedules
• •Adal separates webhook receipt (server-side storage) from local delivery (CLI forwarding on reconnect)
• •Useful for testing payment, GitHub, CRM, and bot webhooks without maintaining a VPS or Kubernetes cluster
