✨ What inspired me to create h00k.dev I built h00k.dev because I was tired of using basic webhook inspectors that only show raw payloads and nothing more. While working on multiple API integrations, I kept missing a tool that was developer-friendly, fast, and equipped with the utilities I needed every day — formatting, decoding, snapshots, retries, mock responses. So I decided to create the tool I always wished existed. 🔧 What problems does it solve? h00k.dev solves the real issues developers face when working with webhooks: Switching between too many tools to debug one request No easy way to save or share webhook conversations Lack of built-in utilities (JSON/XML formatting, encoders, decoders) Hard to replay or simulate events during testing It makes debugging simpler, faster, and actually enjoyable. 🚀 How my approach evolved during the launch At first, I only wanted a cleaner webhook inspector. But as I built it, I realized developers need much more: tools, snapshots, retries, forwarding, AI mocks, stable bins, and a clean UI. My process shifted from “build an inspector” to “build a full developer companion for webhook integrations”. I kept refining the UX, improving performance, focusing on real workflows, and designing a product that feels smooth, consistent, and powerful.
