GoVisual – lightweight, zero-config HTTP request visualizer for Go

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…

GoVisual – lightweight, zero-config HTTP request visualizer for Go launched on May 4, 2025 with 6 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

    We built Gonzo to make log analysis faster and friendlier in the terminal. Think of it like k9s for logs — a TUI that can ingest JSON, text, or OpenTelemetry (OTLP) logs, highlight and boil up patterns, and even run AI models locally or via API to summarize logs. We’re still iterating, so ideas and contributions are welcome!

  • Gotui – a modern Go terminal dashboard libraryDec 2025 · github.com · ▲49

    I’ve been working on gotui, a modern fork of the unmaintained termui, rebuilt on top of tcell for TrueColor, mouse support, and proper resize handling. It keeps the simple termui-style API, but adds a bunch of new widgets (charts, gauges, world map, etc.), nicer visuals (collapsed borders, rounded corners), and input components for building real dashboards and tools. Under the hood the renderer’s been reworked for much better performance, and I’d love feedback on what’s missing for you to use it in production.

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
