FlyEnv vs XAMPP Comments
moonbrookeVery good and easy to use. Comparable to Laravel Herd and Laragon. It has pretty url, support PHP/NodeJS/Java/Go/Python, install switch between multiple version of the languages easily, one click ssl, and it's fast. There's free and full version available. The free version allows you to have up to 3 sites. There are three ways to get the full version. You can either donate a small amount via kofi, promote the project on your socials, or contribute in the development. I think that's pretty generous.
