Show HN: I made an online Webhook Tester
Hi HN! Last year, I built LocalCan app in which you can develop apps using .local domains and Public URLs.
Although it allows for testing webhooks too, I wanted to give back and create a free online tool specifically for that purpose! And so, I've made Webhook.cool
Simply use your unique webhook URL to send any webhook to it from services like Shopify, Slack, Mailchimp, Trello, GitHub, PayPal, Discord, and Jira.
Give it a try and let me know how if you have any feedback.
- replwoacause 3y agoVery nice. This will come in handy!
- mcsniff 3y agoI like the UI/UX here, aside from the fake window controls at the top left and the small "..." advanced settings option. Simple and straightforward, looks like very Apple-esque, which many people are familiar with. Nicely done!
- golson_kindmind 3y agoDid the glassmorphic vibes. What tools/libraries did you on the CSS side or is that custom styling?
- jarekceborski 3y agoThanks! This is custom styling and I've used styled-components.
- theblazehen 3y agoSee also: https://webhook.site/ https://webhook.site/ https://rbaskets.in/web https://rbaskets.in/web
- tasn 3y agoalso https://www.svix.com/play/ https://www.svix.com/play/ and many others.
- urda 3y agoIt was really easy to see what the site was about, and I was quickly able to POST a "Hello World" to it from my terminal. Based on some other comments in this thread, it looks like there's some market competition for this here.
- jarekceborski 3y agoThanks urda, good feedback! There are similar tools, but since it's free, I don't see them as "competition" but rather "more options".
- wanghq 3y agoI need something more than this 2 weeks ago. I ended up with using Postman mock server so I can customize the webhook response.
- eddd-ddde 3y agoI used to frequently need a tool exactly like this. Since I never found one that I liked I would just deploy a Cloudflare Worker that logged requests and then tail the logs. This one seems pretty good.
- jasonjmcghee 3y agoI love the vibe of the site
- nbbaier 3y agoReally nice UX here, well done. It's also easy to set up a webhook endpoint on https://val.town https://val.town.
- quickthrower2 3y agoNice idea. BUT don't use this in prod, kids (or any webhook that returns secrets).
- jarekceborski 3y agoOnly you can see your webhooks, unless you enable sharing from the menu. Also, each request can be deleted individually, using trash i con.
- quickthrower2 3y agoWith security assume the worst. If someone bad gets control of your backend is this still true?
