Products that do what GoVisual – lightweight, zero-config HTTP request visualizer for Go does
Hello HN, I kept losing half my debugging sessions to hunting down why a request failed, or which middleware added that header, or why my JSON response was malformed—too many tools, too many context switches. So I built GoVisual, a tiny Go library that wraps your existing http.Handler and gives you a live dashboard at http://localhost:8080/__viz. - Real-time monitoring: Requests show up instantly via SSE - Deep inspection: Headers, request/response bodies, status, timing - Middleware tracing: Visualize execution order and durations - Zero external deps: Pure Go, drop-in…

A simple Go-based HTTP proxy designed for detailed inspection of requests and responses. It logs traffic to the console with colorization, automatic decompression, and formatting for common content types, while remaining transparent to the client application. Ideal for debugging API interactions, understanding middleware behavior, or simply getting a clear view of HTTP traffic flow with jq-like pretty-printing & colorization of request/response. Automatically redacts parts of Authorization header to avoid token leakage.

I just want to share this little weekend experiment. I used gource (usually intended to show git repo changes over time) with web server logs. Video is at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqV8wqy0v7w It's showing the web server activity for a non profit, requesting and receiving payments, accepting new members, as well as having the two admins making changes around. This is actually surprisingly easy to do with gource by just providing a log file in a pretty simple format instead of providing the git repo. This is a low traffic server but I find it quite interesting as a way…

Hey guys and gals! I'm learning Go at the moment and LOVING it. I was hoping to get constructive feedback on a project I'm working on - goatee - which is a notification server that utilizes Redis pub/sub and WebSockets. It's fairly bare-bones at the moment but I'm hoping to add in a lot more features as time goes on such as queueing and WebSocket channel subscriptions (via Go Socketio possibly).

Hi fellow HNers, We just opened up Bitdeli for free public beta at https://bitdeli.com Bitdeli allows you to process real-time data with plain Python scripts and access the results over a friendly HTTP API. You can use it to create live visualizations and dashboards without having to worry about servers. See examples here: http://bl.ocks.org/2009621 and http://bl.ocks.org/1983818 We would love to hear your feedback and comments!

What it does: A Postman/Insomnia-like TUI for building, sending, and organizing HTTP/GraphQL/gRPC/WebSocket requests. Supports saved collections stored as YAML/JSON files, environment variables, auth presets, response diffing, and request history. Why it's needed: This is the single largest gap in the Go TUI ecosystem. The abandoned wuzz (10.5k stars) proved massive demand for terminal HTTP inspection, but it's been dead for years. Posting (Python, ~6k stars) and ATAC (Rust, ~2k stars) are thriving alternatives in other languages. The Go options — gostman and go-gurl…

Hello HN, for the past couple of months I've been working on Routify and wanted to share the progress made so far and hopefully get your opinion/feedback on it. Routify is a global serverless API gateway which handles routing, authentication, rate limiting, load balancing, monitoring, transformation etc (with more coming soon). Routify makes it easier to manage and secure public APIs. It's distributed across many regions globally and acts as a proxy between your clients and your services. You can configure it through the interface in a matter of minutes (no code required). There are…

Frustrated by the complexity and resource drain of multi service monitoring stacks, I built Simon. I wanted a single, lightweight dashboard to replace the heavy stack and the constant need for an SSH client for routine tasks. The result is a resource efficient dashboard in a single Rust binary, just a couple of megabytes in size. Its support for various architectures on Linux also makes it ideal for embedded systems and lightweight SBCs. It integrates: Comprehensive Monitoring: Realtime and historical metrics for the host system and Docker containers (CPU, memory, disk usage, and network…

Hey HN! Half a year ago, I decided to learn the basics of Go and create something useful along the way. Thus, I created Wannabe, a tool that's useful for generating mock HTTP APIs used in integration and all the other kinds of testing. How it works? Wannabe functions as a standalone server. Upon receiving a request, it generates a cURL command from it based on the request matching configuration you set and generates a hash from the prepared cURL command. When in "proxy" or "mixed" mode, Wannabe proxies the request to the external provider and stores the request/response pair as a record…

Built on top of templUI - https://templui.io - (OSS), which I also created. goilerplate handles auth, subscriptions, docs, etc. SQLite by default, Postgres optional. Polar integration for payments. Feedback welcome!
