Zxc – Rust TLS proxy with tmux and Vim as UI, BurpSuite alternative

In plain words

Zxc is a terminal-based HTTP/HTTPS and WebSocket proxy built in Rust that uses tmux and Vim for its interface. Designed for developers and security testers, it intercepts and captures traffic for debugging and security testing. It stores large datasets on disk, supports add-ons like ffuf and sqlmap, allows request editing through buffer variables, and includes content and domain filtering via TOML configuration files.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Ditch Burp Suite’s bloat for zxc, a Rust-built, terminal-based proxy that uses tmux and Vim to intercept HTTP/S and WebSocket traffic. It captures requests for debugging, security testing, or tweaking—fast and lean. # Key Features - Disk Wizardry: Stashes massive datasets on disk-100k+ entries without breaking a…

  Rmux – A programmable terminal multiplexer with a Playwright-style SDKMay 2026 · github.com · ▲194

  Author here. RMUX started from a frustration: I've used tmux for years and got tired of scraping output with grep and sleeps to automate anything. So I rebuilt the multiplexer from scratch in Rust, with a programmable layer on top. Two surfaces: a tmux-compatible CLI (~90 commands, your keybindings just work), and a typed async Rust SDK on the same daemon — stable pane IDs, structured snapshots, locator-style waits. The idea is Playwright-style automation, but for terminals. Native on Linux, macOS, Windows (real ConPTY, no WSL). Demos and docs at rmux.io. Happy to answer questions about the…

  Svix – Open-Source Webhooks Service Written in Rust2022 · github.com · ▲176

  We are super excited to be open sourcing the Svix webhooks dispatcher! Svix makes it easy to send webhooks. You send your payload to Svix, and Svix takes care of deliverability, retries, security, and more. You can read more about why we built Svix in the original Show HN[0], though the gist is: our customers wanted webhooks to build integrations and workflows around our product, but we weren't willing to commit the engineering time, resources and ongoing maintenance required of a webhook delivery system. Why open source? On a personal level, I've been an open source maintainer and…

  Talanoa▲346

  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…

  I built a hardware processor that runs Python▲983

  Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
