Convoy Playground (For testing ingest and egress webhooks)

Hello Hacker News! We've been working on Convoy Playground [0], a tiny proxy and debugging tool which makes testing webhooks a breeze. If you've ever struggled with configuring or troubleshooting webhooks, we believe this tool will be a game changer for you. Convoy Playground provides a simple, intuitive, and powerful interface for testing, debugging and replaying webhooks. You can send HTTP requests to your specified endpoints, view and analyze the response in real-time, and even replay the requests as needed. The inspiration for this project came from the countless hours we've spent…

What it does

Expert insights on webhook infrastructure, engineering practices, and technical deep dives from the team building the future of webhooks.

Welcome to day one of Convoy Launch week! Today, we're introducing Convoy Playground ! With Convoy Playground , we’re taking a step further towards ensuring that integrating and sending webhook events is ridiculously easy for every engineer and engineering team, providing as many resources as possible, required at any level. Our goal with Convoy Playground is simple: creating a resource for engineers to easily test their webhook integrations end to end; completely powered by Convoy. On the first load, Playground automatically creates a source URL you can copy and start receiving webhook events with. All you need to do is copy this URL, paste it into your webhook event source, and start…from getconvoy.io

    Hey Friends, Convoy is an open-source webhooks gateway. Webhooks continue to be hard at scale, and large teams require consistent tooling for inbound & outbound webhooks. Convoy enables developers to securely send, receive and manage millions of webhooks reliably with features like retries, rate limiting, circuit breaking, customer-facing webhook logs, zero downtime secrets rotation and more. Since our initial launch [0], we've learned a lot about our users and made several important improvements we are excited to share: - We are now a webhooks gateway!

    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…

  • Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
