🤖 AI Summary
            Outer Loop is a new Mac browser that connects directly to private web apps over SSH, letting each browser window act like a secure tunnel into a remote server. It’s aimed at scientific and ML workflows (Jupyter, TensorBoard, MLflow, RStudio), server and database admin tools (phpMyAdmin, Kubernetes Dashboard), and even smart-home dashboards. Instead of manually running ssh -L port forwards and navigating to localhost, Outer Loop exposes remote ports inside the browser and provides a built-in web view — or a standalone, reliable port-forwarder if you prefer your regular browser.
The technical hook is a custom SSH port‑forwarding engine optimized for laptops and flaky network conditions: it treats SSH sessions as transient, reconnecting and keeping mappings intact when you close and reopen your laptop. That makes access to local-only web apps much more seamless and robust than classic ssh -L tunnels (which often break on sleep or network handoffs). Because it uses SSH, it preserves secure, authenticated access without exposing apps to the public internet. For ML engineers and ops teams who regularly inspect remote notebooks, training UIs, or dashboards, Outer Loop promises a simpler, more reliable developer experience.
