Last time I posted this it didn't garner much interest. There have been lots of improvements and fixes since the last release.

Hi HN! I've been working lately on unifying firefox configuration. Many people work on creating custom `userChrome.css` files and modules, browser user scripts, etc, but it's hard to actually use these a lot of the time. It usually involves cloning a repo, finding a folder and lots of copy paste. My tool (firebuilder) has an interactive CLI to select what to apply, (e.g. firefox hardening, custom CSS, etc) then creates a brand new profile folder for you. You can also seamlessly port from an existing profile folder to preserve all of your history, bookmarks, extensions, etc. For those more…

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…

Hey HN, I wanted a better load testing solution – so I built one with my team at Multiple. We just opened early access and would love to get your feedback. We created Multiple to solve three challenges with existing tools: 1. Limited scripting capabilities. XML or GUI-based scripting can only test basic scenarios. Existing code-based tools struggle with auth, generating synthetic data, and testing anything other than HTTP requests. We went with JavaScript for ease of use, versatility, and integration with existing developer workflows. 2. Cannot use existing libraries or code. Instead of…

I had to do a bit of web-workflow documentation and found the process of gathering screenshots, placing them correctly into a document, and creating captions extremely tiring. I figured it’ll be easy to automate and also a great opportunity to get to know the Browser API, and here we are with the first release of the extension. It’s extremely easy to use but barebones which I plan to change in the near future, so any feedback will be appreciated. I want to keep the docs generation process completely offline to avoid dealing with server costs and GDPR stuff which poses a lot of challenges…
