Reversing an Android app API
HTTP Toolkit, you will need to install one in your PC and another one in the emulator.

Need an app that sniffs HTTP/HTTPS requests that are made by apps
Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but if you could side-load on windows this app should work. https://httptoolkit.com/

Using Elementor can I create repeating blocks like this?
use https://httptoolkit.com/ but it's getting a bit off-topic :)

Ask HN: Side project of more that $2k monthly revenue what's your project?
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!

why is my app not making any api requests after being deployed?
you can use tools like https://httptoolkit.com/ to check the requests

🛠️Non-AI Open Source Projects that are 🔥
Bruno is a Git-friendly API client. Feature-wise, what makes it stand out from other popular GUI API clients out there is that Bruno stores your collections directly in a folder on your filesystem and it's a desktop app made for offline use.

Bruno
Especially once a VC gets into the fold.
We will never take VC funding. We received around 10 inbound reach outs from VCs till date and have denied funding from all of them. We will remain independent and I have written about it in detail here https://www.usebruno.com/blog/bootstrapping
> I didn't stick with Bruno. I think it was due to not having an equivalent to Postman's pre-request scripts.
Bruno has come a long way, we support pre-request scripts and a lot more
> But can it handle oauth2? I had to write a httpie script recently just to test an oauth2 api.
We have released oauth2 support, some rough edges are being polished
> Good thing it's open source. Money being involved, I don't have long term hopes for it's openness.
I understand this is a hard problem. We are fully bootstrapped and independent. We earn money via selling the Golden Edition. We will build more developer products in the long term, and the goal is to make even the golden edition features also open source in the future. In the unlikely case of me going dark (dead/incapacitated to lead the project), I have instructed our small team (2 FT employees) and my family to release our golden edition features too to the community as opensource. I am committed to this cause.
Some good links where I have discussed about opensource, freedom and monetization

Thank you for all the love and kind words, HN!

Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
Have you heard of the Bruno project? It's an open-source alternative to subscription-based API testing applications like Postman and Insomnia. It's gaining popularity and deserves more attention. Plus, since it's open-source, users can enjoy full privacy. Check it out at https://github.com/usebruno/bruno.

Tools that Make Me Productive as a Software Engineer
Now, I'm looking at trying Bruno, a new tool I heard about. Bruno has all the features you'd want, like support for websockets. What's great about Bruno is it only costs $19 for a one-time payment, which seems like a good deal. I want to see how well it works for me and if it's as good as it sounds. I'm excited to try it out and maybe talk about it later.

15 open-source tools to elevate your software design workflow
In contrast to Postman, Bruno aims to be an offline-first API client which stores requests in a local folder. You can still collaborate using Git, but everything else happens on your machine. Bruno turns out to be a great solution when you just want to run HTTP requests. It supports a lot of features you might know from Postman or Insomnia (set environment variables, several authentication methods, and scripted tests, to name a few). Looking at the roadmap, the amount of these is only going to increase.
