I found requestly organically a few months back and love it, great tool.

#12Looks great, I look forward to trying it out. Just FYI clicking the "Upgrade to premium" link bottom left of the application takes me to a blank navy screen. Then I have to close and re-open Requestly.

#13This looks great! Congratulations. I particularly like the "shortcuts" to common actions like "Insert JS/CSS". That's very useful!
I want to also give a shoutout to https://proxyman.io/. Proxyman is a native Mac App that also works as a local proxy and is a pleasure to use. I've been using it for similar workflows and can highly recommend it over Charles (the SSL handling alone is 100x simpler).

#14I wrote the FoxyProxy for Firefox and Chrome web extensions. The Firefox version has a good logging mechanism, although no modification capabilities. Are you looking for contributors?
Wow, FoxyProxy is very popular on Firefox. I'd definitely love to discuss this. Can you please drop a hi at sachin@requestly.io

Insert JS is one of the most used features. Requestly also allows adding multiple scripts which are loaded sequentially So you can basically add a library URL like jQuery and write a code block which depends upon jQuery. Proxyman is a very good tool. No doubt over it. SSL handling is a challenge and I just don't like the way we have to setup things for Mobile app debugging, that's the trigger for building the native SDK for us.

#17I don't see any obvious links to mobile debugging in the features list or the FAQ. I see you mention an SDK here in the comment, but is there any links to docs on this? I frequently use Charles/Fiddler, but always interested in new offerings. Congrats on the release!
@jwong_ We are about to do a public release of Android SDK. Here are a couple of things which we did for internal purpose only (& WIP) but still sharing to give you an idea https://youtu.be/gs02m2pZJlQ (Demo Video) https://requestly.io/android-interceptor/ (WIP - Landing Page) I'd be really happy to discuss further on this approach. I believe this is going to make things really easy for developers.
Why would I use requestly for Android when perfectly good alternatives already exist ? Flipper (https://fbflipper.com/) lets me do all of this (viewing, mocks, etc), with the same setup. And it's extensible too. HTTP Toolkit offers the proxying solution to it. Is there anything that might be different ?

On the way to fixing this bug. Looking forward to your feedback when you try it out.

#19You are an inspiration to me.

#20Congratulation! We are big fans of Requestly at Caido as we are building something somewhat similar for the infosec community (https://caido.io).
Requestly feels good and there is a lot of potential for production debugging. I particularly like the switching of API endpoint so you can use the live prod website with a local API, super useful to debug.
