    Send a GitHub webhook to a private URL▲72

    I work on the OpenZiti project and I have a CI server that accepts GitHub webhooks, but I don't want to expose my server to the internet with open ports. I used the Python SDK for OpenZiti (overlay networking platform) to create a GitHub Action that sends the webhook to my private server via overlay instead of via the open internet. This GitHub repo is a template that I made to show you how it all works. You can use it right away to run the sample server (httpbin-go) and see the GitHub Action in...action.

    I made an online Webhook Tester▲43

    Hi HN! Last year, I built LocalCan app in which you can develop apps using .local domains and Public URLs. Although it allows for testing webhooks too, I wanted to give back and create a free online tool specifically for that purpose! And so, I've made Webhook.cool Simply use your unique webhook URL to send any webhook to it from services like Shopify, Slack, Mailchimp, Trello, GitHub, PayPal, Discord, and Jira. Give it a try and let me know how if you have any feedback.

    GitStory▲11

    Hi HN, I built GitStory to turn GitHub contribution graphs into a 'Spotify Wrapped' style cinematic experience. The Tech: It's built with Next.js 16 and uses the GitHub API to fetch user data. Challenges I solved: Rate Limits: GitHub's API is strict, so I implemented aggressive caching and optimized the queries to fetch everything in minimal calls. Animations: Used Framer Motion for the slide transitions to make it feel like a native mobile app on the web. Privacy: It supports public profiles by default, but you can use a fine-grained token for private repos (the token is never stored, only…
