DrHTTP (https://drhttp.com/) provides a simple web UI showing all http requests & responses (including full payloads) that flowed in your server.

Let's say you (backend developer) run a json over rest API in production. A client opens a ticket saying he received wrong data 3 days ago at 10:00 am. You see no exception in your reporting tool (sentry, newrelic, etc.), you don't have business oriented logs for this situation, current data in your DB looks fine, I think you might get value from the http payload of the user. DrHTTP gives it to you.

I'm at a point where I have a working prototype and i'd like to validate the usefullness of it. I use it on the few projects i work on. Typically to detect if a wrong data issue comes from backend or frontend/mobile, share a payload snapshot with other devs. Friends/network showed me interest from day one but none of them is in position of using it in his company. I'm aware of a few issues i might face once going in production : pricing, privacy, scaling, performance impact, etc.. I'd love to tackle them, i just want to validate the need first.

Your feedbacks are very welcome on how you would see benefit using it / you want to use it.

Thanks in advance to the community :)
