Chameleon – a caching reverse proxy for testing/dev written in Go launched on January 15, 2015 with 23 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

In plain words

Chameleon is a caching reverse proxy built in Go designed for testing and development environments. It intercepts and caches HTTP requests, allowing developers to test applications against repeated or modified responses without hitting the actual backend services each time. The tool is open-source and available on GitHub for developers who need to simulate various network conditions or server behaviors during testing.

  • An LLM response cache that's aware of dynamic dataJan 2026 · blog.butter.dev · ▲17

    Raymond here from Butter.dev, an LLM response cache built as a chat-completions proxy. Today we're launching a key feature for the platform: the ability to generalize on dynamic, templated inputs. Caching at the HTTP request level has the obvious problem of generalizability. Nearly no request is identical, due to templated variables (like names) and metadata (like timestamps), so exact-match cache lookups rarely hit. We solve this at Butter by using LLMs to detect dynamic content in requests and derive their inter-relationships, allowing the cache entry to be stored as a template + variables…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
