## What it is
Hotel is a simple process manager for developers that lets you start local apps from a browser dashboard and access them via local .localhost domains with automatic HTTPS. It works with any server stack (Node, PHP, Ruby, Python, Go, Docker) and proxies local domains to running processes.

## Use cases
- manage local dev servers from a browser
- access local projects via .localhost domains
- add https to local development servers
- start dev servers on demand without managing ports
- catalog all local servers in one dashboard
- map local domains to remote servers via proxy

## When to choose
- you juggle many local projects and want friendly local domains instead of ports
- you want a lightweight cross-platform process manager for dev servers
- you need automatic self-signed HTTPS for local development

## When to avoid
- you need production-grade process management or clustering
- your team relies on actively maintained tooling with frequent updates
- you only run a single dev server and don't need local domains
