httptoolkit VS Adminer

HTTP Toolkit, you will need to install one in your PC and another one in the emulator.

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but if you could side-load on windows this app should work. https://httptoolkit.com/

use https://httptoolkit.com/ but it's getting a bit off-topic :)

I run HTTP Toolkit (https://httptoolkit.com) which passed $2k a couple of years back. No longer a side project, as it's made enough money for me to work on it full time for a fair while now, but it certainly started that way, and it's still a one-man show (plus many wonderful open-source contributors).

I suspect that'll be a common theme in answers here though: if you have a side project making $2k a month, in most of the world that's enough for you to go full-time and try to take it further. If you can make $2k/month on something working only part-time, you can definitely make a lot more if you focus on it.

On your questions: HTTP Toolkit is a desktop app (plus a mobile app and other components for integrations) but it's an Electron app that effectively functions as a SaaS (with a freemium subscription model) that just happens to have a component that runs on your computer. And actually getting to $2k wasn't overnight at all - it took a couple of years of slow steady slog. A few inflection points that made a notable difference (releasing rewriting support & Android support particularly) but mostly it was a matter of "just keep pushing", trusting the trajectory would keep going, and steadily grinding upwards. It's great where it is now, but it's hard work - a solo business is not for the faint of heart!

you can use tools like https://httptoolkit.com/ to check the requests

Use adminer (or the SQL CLI) to verify tables and database entries. In a dockware default development setup: http://localhost//adminer.php (Server: 127.0.0.1, not localhost; database: shopware; initial login: root:root).

Heh, what a name for a DB explorer ("Adminer - Database management in a single PHP file"; Apache 2 or GPLv2 https://github.com/vrana/adminer/blob/v4.8.1/readme.txt#L7 )

Web Station test using PHP and Adminer via the 'ancient' unsupported pdo_dblib confirmed SQL Server is working, however I need to write code using the sqlsrv extension.

Or, more PHP now, do you have phpmyadmin or can run adminer - single file?

Nothing stops you from compiling everything into one file. Adminer does it.

Another solution I use often is Adminer, it is a single PHP file, working over web server and accessible from anywhere
