rrweb VS Requestly

Interesting project!

How does this compare to rrweb[0], the library that Sentry and many other commercial offerings for frontend monitoring use?

Congrats on being the only commercial company to actually sponsor rrweb[0] rather than just fork it and contribute absolutely nothing back (or in the case of Sentry - remove their copyright and violate their license).

Seeing as you're "open-source", why chose to fork and detach the project rather than contribute directly to it? With a detached fork, other users can't even compare your changes to the original and pull in fixes. If you truly believed in the spirit of open source, you'd believe in working together and giving back, not just taking advantage of a free lunch.

It feels like all these "open-source" companies are just closed source but with open-source as a marketing gimmick.

if you want I can help to install www.rrweb.io free, DM me

In the end, I had to experiment quite a few times. First, I tried using rrweb since it was something that was already on my radar. The idea is I would record using that and convert it into a video using rrvideo.

I didn't think postHog was a good comparison either,

I knew of rrweb https://www.rrweb.io/

Great to see more open source contendants in the space

(something like https://www.rrweb.io/)

I'm indie/solo making Linkkraft browser (to make a living from it). Browser to be effective researcher & collector. It visualizes your steps as tree and makes html snapshot for your each step (even steps in SPAs like twitter).

Requestly- Makes frontend development cycle 10x faster with API Client, Mock Server, Intercept & Modify HTTP Requests and Session Replays.

If you want to intercept and modify a incoming json response for some specific url pattern, would a service worker be a good way to do so?

To illustrate, assume I frequently browse example.com and want to trick my browser into thinking that I have "favorited" every post. It's trivial to write a for loop that iterates over response.json and sets `is_favorite = true`. But it's not as clear to me where this script should ideally live in order to have the logic always executed before the response is made available to the site.

Your comment made me think about whether I can replace my overkill solution (https://requestly.io/) with something lightweight.

If you prefer open-source there is Requestly and Toolkit.

If you don't know Requestly, It is an open-source Chrome/Firefox/Edge extension to intercept & modify HTTP requests & responses. One of the popular features is to modify HTTP headers. We also offer workspaces for easy collaboration between team members.

Hey, open-source community, This is Sachin, One of the core maintainers of Requestly - An open-source alternative to Charles Proxy & Telerik Fiddler. In case you don’t know about Charles Proxy & Fiddler, both of them are two decades-old products used widely to Inspect & Modify HTTP traffic in web & mobile apps.

In /etc/hosts file you put only IP addresses and hostnames, i.e. 127.0.0.1 cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com. Then you have to set up a web server on localhost port 80 and put your image at http://localhost/steamcommunity/public/images/apps/753/1d0167575d746dadea7706685c0f3c01c8aeb6d8.jpg as well as other files from https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com. You also have to keep the URLs updated when they change upstream. It's not worth it. Better use a local proxy server like mitmproxy or requestly.

Requestly founder here. You are essentially looking for Requestly - A Chrome/Firefox browser extension to Intercept & Modify HTTP requests. Using Requestly you can actually do the following things

For development/Debugging: 1. VSCode - Got used to the key bindings and integrated terminal, so now it's really hard to switch 2. Requestly - For easily setting up local debugging environments. I am less of a UI guy, so this allows me to use the live UI of a deployed site, and redirect whichever request I want to play with to my local server. 3. Wireshark - To better understand a network protocol.
