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.

It 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.

I 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!

Nice idea. BUT don't use this in prod, kids (or any webhook that returns secrets).

I 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.

Really nice UX here, well done. It's also easy to set up a webhook endpoint on https://val.town.

Did the glassmorphic vibes. What tools/libraries did you on the CSS side or is that custom styling?

I need something more than this 2 weeks ago. I ended up with using Postman mock server so I can customize the webhook response.
