Show HN: Curl2Url

It needs to be more explicit that it is a curl invocation as a service. I was close to giving up and flagging because i didn't understood what this website does.

Also, what does "Run request on demand" mean? How is that demand determined?

That is awesome. I've always wanted to be able to access URLs from my browser. /s

In all seriousness, I'm sure there is a use case for this, but is is not at all self-evident, so you probably need to explain why you built this. Or maybe that is what is in the video, but people aren't going to watch a video if the top of the page doesn't already grab them in some way.

Why no proxies?

Proxies are only available for registered users

Isn't it already a proxy for bypassing browser restrictions?

Why using a hash for url instead of url query parameters?

My guess is it's shorter and easier to share.
