Backend debugging still feels like guesswork — I built a terminal-first HTTP/S inspector to help
Backend debugging often means partial logs + guesses, especially when your service is calling multiple APIs.
I built Termtap to make that loop faster:
- wrap your command with tap run -- ...
- see outbound HTTP/S traffic in real time
- inspect requests/responses/failures in terminal
It’s local-first, terminal-first, and avoids code changes for basic traffic inspection. Current scope is intentionally focused (beta):
- local debugging of outbound traffic
- scripts/services/CLI tools
- fast iteration over “why did this integration fail?”
Would love blunt feedback from backend engineers:
- what workflows this misses
- what features matter most (replay? payload edit? multi-process?)
- what would make it production-useful vs just local-useful
