Show HN: Wiretap is a tool for integrating Apps w/REST APIs - need beta testers
- KrisJordan 14y agoHey HN, op here. Wiretap is a weekend project of mine I've been hacking on for a few months. It's like your browser's Network Tab, but for server-side and mobile apps. Technically, it's a hosted reverse proxy / debugger that's really easy to setup. Looking for beta testers as well as feedback from HN on the demo and landing page content. Thanks for your help and input!
- mgkimsal 14y agoVery cool demo - there was enough in the video that I got it without feeling like you glossed over much, nor did you go too slow - pretty good pace for this type of service and audience.
- katieben 14y agoOoh, this is really neat. :) I'd love to test - would be incredibly useful for my project right now. I'll PM you :)
- midnightmonster 14y agoI upvoted at first because Kris is a friend and it looked good. Then I watched the video and: 1) This looks great 2) It's a fantastic demo video Is the automatic local connection app thing going to work if I'm behind a NAT? Any plans to make the desktop app work on Windows or Linux?
- KrisJordan 14y agoThanks! Yep, the local connection will tunnel through an HTTPS connect, so it should work from behind aggressive NATs. The goal of the desktop app is cross-platform. In its current form it's a cobbled together OSX app that shells out, but moving it to Java (or an easier-to-port language) soon.
- mgkimsal 14y agoIf you're in to Java, perhaps take a look at griffon - essentially groovy/swing/mvc combo. http://griffon.codehaus.org/ http://griffon.codehaus.org/
- spatical 14y agoLooks very cool. Excited to try it out.
