Allow anyone online to flip on a process on your machine! 💡
Lightswitch is a simple program that hosts a website (using btnify) that allows anyone online to start a process on your PC. Please only use Lightswitch if you know what you're doing, because allowing anyone on the internet to start a process on your PC can be potentially dangerous.
Lightswitch was originally made to allow my friends and I to turn on our Minecraft server without having to message the person hosting it, however Lightswitch can be used for anything you want.
To use Lightswitch simply create a file named lightswitch_config.toml
wherever you are running the lightswitch executable.
