Show HN: Proxelar – MitM proxy with (rata)TUI, terminal, and web interface
github.com I built this over the past couple of years as a way to inspect HTTP/HTTPS traffic (learning project). It started as a Tauri desktop app but I recently simplified the whole thing — dropped the
desktop GUI and replaced it with three simpler interfaces (TUI with ratatui https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui, terminal, web) that you pick with a CLI flag.
The proxy intercepts both HTTP and HTTPS, works as a forward or reverse proxy, and lets you search and drill into individual request/response pairs. The TUI is the default — it gives you a live table of traffic
with detail panels. The web interface streams everything over WebSocket if you prefer a browser. Terminal mode just prints colored lines, useful for piping or logging.
Setup is pretty minimal — install, run, point your system proxy at it.
Happy to hear feedback or ideas. Still a lot I want to improve.No comments yet.
