Unable to access localhost:3000 from other machine

I'm having a node.js application running on localhost:3000 and able to access it through my browser. I'm having the following configuration in my server.js file.
here port is 3000

app.listen(port, '0.0.0.0', function onStart(err) {
if (err) {
    console.log(err);
}
console.info('==> 🌎 Listening on port %s. Open up http://localhost:%s/ in your browser.', port);
});

When I try to access my server using my laptop's IP by checking it through what's my ip on google e.g. ip is http://58.27.123.12:3000, it doesn't take me to the requested page. I'm running the application on Ubuntu 19.10. I'm also able to ping my ip through other systems and it responds successfully. What I might be doing wrong? Thanks

if you want people to access on LAN give them your localIP with port number or if you want to provide access via internet check below links:-

https://localhost.run/

https://localtunnel.github.io/www/

ssh -R 80:localhost:3000 ssh.localhost.run

using this command solved the issue after installing localtunnel
