What is NetworkSpy?
NetworkSpy is a newly launched HTTP(s) proxy debugging tool designed to help developers and technical founders intercept, inspect, and analyze network traffic. By acting as a proxy between your client application and the server, it provides visibility into the raw request and response data that often remains opaque during standard development.
Why Founders Need It
As your application scales, network-related bugsβsuch as failed API calls, incorrect payload structures, or latency issuesβbecome harder to diagnose. A dedicated debugging proxy allows your engineering team to quickly verify data integrity and security protocols, minimizing downtime and accelerating feature iteration cycles.
