This looks great! Congratulations. I particularly like the "shortcuts" to common actions like "Insert JS/CSS". That's very useful! I want to also give a shoutout to https://proxyman.io/ https://proxyman.io/. Proxyman is a native Mac App that also works as a local proxy and is a pleasure to use. I've been using it for similar workflows and can highly recommend it over Charles (the SSL handling alone is 100x simpler).

Insert JS is one of the most used features. Requestly also allows adding multiple scripts which are loaded sequentially So you can basically add a library URL like jQuery and write a code block which depends upon jQuery. Proxyman is a very good tool. No doubt over it. SSL handling is a challenge and I just don't like the way we have to setup things for Mobile app debugging, that's the trigger for building the native SDK for us.

I too used to use paid-version of Charles and then moved to Proxyman. I particularly like the scripting ability in Proxyman.

  Interesting! What was the trigger point to move to Proxyman. How did you port the configurations you already had in Charles? Did you have to recreate them?

Proxyman looks like something I always wanted: does it allow you to say "when any browsers/webpage request this URL {url}, return this {content} instead of the original one"? And if it works like that, does anyone know something like that for Windows? Thanks!

  Yes, You can do this with Requestly desktop app. You can use Modify Response feature to just specify a URL then specify the status code you need like 400 or 500 and then you can also specify what content do you want to return. Requestly also lets you write a simple JS script to change something in the existing content. Here are some references for you - About Modify Response (https://requestly.io/feature/modify-response/ https://requestly.io/feature/modify-response/), Change Status Code (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50923170/simulate-fake-404-500-status-code-to-check-frontend-app-behaviour/51098873#51098873 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50923170/simulate-fake-4...). And yes, Requestly is available on Windows too.
