Tracehook

Just published my latest tool that I think could make using Tracehook even better. Now you can capture webhooks and relay them to another endpoint that you control. Why would you need this? Lets say you are writing a API to accept SendGrid webhooks and you aren't sure of how the payloads will look like and what kind of permutations there are. With relay you can let Tracehook accept the SendGrid traffic and when your API is ready just relay them to your API for testing.

After the launch I posted the app on a Slack channel I am a member of that has entrepreneurs that share my co-working space. I got my first user and boy did he help! Sometimes you build something for yourself and you are blinded by what you need and not what anyone else would need/expect from your tool. Right off the bat he was able to give me some really good feedback on his confusion and expectations. I used that feedback to address his immediate concerns as well as look at how I can improve communication of the features.

I have been needing a tool like this for a while because I deal with a lot of services online that have webhooks. Sometimes the data doesn't come back as you would have guessed and debugging can be a pain if you are deserializing to Json and the deserializer isn't working. Tracehook was built out of a pain and I am hoping it can relieve others pain as well. Looking for my first users and feedback.
