I've been working on https://webhook.site https://webhook.site since 2016 when I posted it here on HN. In fall 2023, I quit my job to work on it full time, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. I have around 1400 subscribers, which is enough to pay myself a good salary. I've not done any funding or marketing so far.

This looks really useful, I've used similar websites in the past but it's nice that it's all together here in one place. If only you could not have it redirect on load, it makes the back button break. Clicking back to return to hackernews is almost impossible

  Press and hold the back, then select the one you want, works on many browsers

    Jobs told everyone they're holding the phone wrong, but it's still shitty that it was broken to begin with.

  > not have it redirect on load I've not been able to reproduce this in neither Safari nor Chrome (https://sf.gl/share/1707213387.mp4 https://sf.gl/share/1707213387.mp4), curious to know which browser you're using. Thanks!

Wow, I use your service all the time for misc testing and it's fantastic. Lean, responsive, and straight forward. I honestly didn't realize there way any paid option until I read this and took a look around the website to find it (I completely missed the upgrade button in the upper right). I figured I'd mention that from a user's perspective to give you a data point. Great service!

It's a great product. I have used to test things. One feature that might not align perfectly with your service but definitely something I would use is Email to webhook forwarding and vice versa.
