Show HN: Trayce – “Burp Suite for developers”

About a year ago I introduced Trayce to HN as the "network tab for docker containers". Now I have released a new version which adds an HTTP client. The idea is to combine network monitoring with an HTTP client to help developers interact with and debug web application servers.
Think "Burp Suite for developers".
Trayce stores requests as local files using the .bru file format. The UI is based on Flutter which means it offers a super-fast and modern desktop GUI with a total download size of 13MB (on Linux). I am still adding features to it so would love feedback. Currently the new features in the pipeline are: OAuth2, GRPC, and scripting. It is open source and free to use but a perpetual license must be purchased for continued use. The license model is similar to that of Sublime Text.
Thank you!
It is an interesting idea. The market is pretty crowded on the development side with the Requestly, HTTPToolkit, Charles Proxy, Fiddler and Postman like of this world.
Is the value proposition mainly the thight Docker integration?
- An ebpf-based network monitor which allows instant monitoring of HTTP(S), GRPC, MySQL, PostgreSQL. Most of those apps can only monitor HTTP using a proxy. Trayce does not use a proxy, it reads the traffic from the kernel layer.
- UI is based on Flutter, not Electron or any other browser-based framework.
- Local git-friendly HTTP request storage
