Hey!
I have an HTTP recording app PutsReq (https://putsreq.com). The differences in between PutsReq and others is that you can programmatically (with JavaScript) respond to these requests. Which is needed when you want to record calls that expect specific responses (HTTP code and payload) - otherwise they error out.
It is a side project that I needed for my own needs in the past. I don't make any $. Actually, I have to pay Heroku to keep it running since it exceeds the free quota.
I was wondering about a few ideas:
a) What about instead of displaying the requests in the web, it could just send to Slack:
/putsreq {#channel, @user}
=> Your PutsReq URL https://putsreq.com/TOKEN
With that, users don't need to leave Slack to check their requests. They could easily share with other Slack users (through channels or sharing the message).
b) Sensitive information would be kept in Slack, not in PutsReq
c) Would this idea be useful enough for people to pay for it?
I'm just trying to make PutsReq more useful, and having the project paying its own expenses. I'm thrilled there are active users, and it is useful for them, but paying monthly fees (not much) is no bueno.
Any ideas?
PS: In the past, I've also created PutsMail (acquired by Litmus), and I also have PutsBox, which is in a very similar situation as a PutsReq.
