Ask HN: What developer tool would you like to build?
I have a lot of interest in dev tools and wonder what other fellow HN'ers think about dev tools in 2021. For example, I would love a better version of web based database admin tool (I am aware of tableplus, sequelpro, dbbeaver etc) with audit log etc. I would also love to build my own wrapper around server management (tools like cockpit etc are a good start). I recently did an internal project where we provided devs ability to download a database for debugging. They cannot do anything else but just download the db over ssh. Everything gets logged (who did it, when etc).

What workload is running on which machine, maybe basic stats (CPU, RAM, I/O usage), who should I contact if I want to take it off their hands and tinker with stuff. It would be very high-level, of the "information radiator" kind, and I imagine the feature set would be similar to a meeting room scheduler.

Why Find all open traffic related to a given app. For example an asynchronous app running a lot of parallel tasks may have many open connections in various stages. It is helpful to know if a connection is open and not resolved. It is also helpful to know there is a backdoor.
