Profile

I built a Chrome extension that acts as a WebSocket proxy, allowing real-time monitoring, message simulation, and traffic interception. Think "Proxyman for WebSockets" but integrated into Chrome DevTools.Key features: Real-time WebSocket monitoring and message capture Send custom messages in both directions (client ↔ server) Block incoming/outgoing messages for testing Background monitoring (captures connections even when DevTools is closed) Why: I was debugging a WebSocket chat app and needed better tools than browser DevTools. Existing solutions required external proxies or were too basic.Tech: Injects proxy script to intercept WebSocket constructor, React + Vite UI, Chrome DevTools API in

A tool for complete WebSocket traffic control is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.
