   Httpdbg – A tool to trace the HTTP requests sent by your Python code▲200

   Hi, I created httpdbg, a tool for Python developers to easily debug HTTP(S) client requests in Python programs. I developed it because I needed a tool that could help me trace the HTTP requests sent by my tests back to the corresponding methods in our API client. The goal of this tool is to simplify the debugging process, so I designed it to be as simple as possible. It requires no external dependencies, no setup, no superuser privileges, and no code modifications. I'm sharing it with you today because I use it regularly, and it seems like others have found it useful too—so it might be…

    Intercept.rest – Faster API debugging▲89

    Sharing an internal tool that accelerated my development work 10-fold, especially with API debugging. Thought fellow developers here might find it useful. As a developer, I often have trouble reproducing errors at the client end. https://intercept.rest lets me debug and monitor API requests and responses. It is similar to the Network tab in Chrome Developer Tools but works for any API: mobile apps, webhooks, frontend etc. After I shared it with a close circle of friends, they found it incredibly useful and even found new use cases, I never imagined. Been a long time lurker here and…

    ADB Wrench▲93

    Hey HN, We built ADBWrench – a browser-based ADB tool that connects to Android devices via WebUSB. No SDK install, no drivers, no PATH config. Just plug in and debug. The problem: Every Android dev knows the friction of setting up adb. Install platform-tools, fight with USB drivers (especially on Windows), hope `adb devices` shows something. Then remember the exact syntax for that one command you need. ADBWrench runs entirely in the browser. Open the URL, grant USB permission, done. The interesting part: There's an AI assistant built in. Describe what you want to do in plain English – "show…
