Review Requestly?
Reviewers describe Requestly as a practical debugging tool that is easy to set up and useful in day-to-day development. They most often mention intercepting or rewriting requests, switching between staging and production, testing CloudFront headers, validating migrations, and helping frontend and backend teams work in parallel. Several say it speeds debugging and shortens deployment cycles. Criticism is light and mostly about small UX issues, such as a slightly confusing sign-in flow and one desktop app sign-in state glitch.

Congrats on the launch! There are a couple of things I really like about this: It's open source. You have plugins for many modern browsers, including Firefox (not just chrome like many other tools). Also, great to see the amazing deal for product hunt users!
Requestly is an amazing tool that has greatly improved my development workflow. Its intuitive interface and powerful features make it a must-have for managing requests, redirects, and other web development tasks.
I just fell in love with this. Great idea, well executed, good to know that sessions are encrypted. Grats on launch: this is so freaking useful. Supporting.
I've used it a little more now and noticed a couple of very minor things that might have been missed.
- When I go to the usual link and I haven't been logged in yet, it was a little hard to find how because you have to click "Sign Up" (Which isn't what you want to do), and then in the modal, click "Sign in". It might be worth rewording the first to be a little more generic.
- In the desktop app, I noticed one time I signed in and it didn't actually show my avatar to indicate I was signed in even though the sign in screen seemed successful and the app functional as if I was. After closing and reopening my avatar showed signed in.
Great product! loving it so far :)
Setup was a breeeeeze. I'm testing Cloudfront staging distributions using Requestly header manipulation. Specifically I'm using the `aws-cf-cd-*` header strategy to tell Cloudfront to point to a staging version of our Cloudfront deployments while we refactor our origins and endpoints.
I think my team will find this tool invaluable! 😎

Requestly makes it easy to swap out a single URL or a regex. This sounds like an incredibly basic feature, but it's not present in most web browsers! I use Requestly primarily for validating how easy a migration would be from an existing vendor to Stadia Maps.
Recently, we've used this add-on in one of our E-commerce projects. It really helps a lot while juggling between staging and production environment. Our team enjoy using this add-on since this reduces debugging cycle a lot.
I have been using requestly along with my team for quite sometime now. It has come quite handy in intercepting network requests while developing our frontend application.
It has resulted in quick debugging cycles.

Looks great! Looking forward to using it in our development. No more chasing bug details from reporters. I can just ask for Session Replay and dive right into debugging. Does it also work for Mobile apps?
I am an avid user of the tools offered by Requestly and it has greatly helped me in my debugging processes. Also, eagerly awaiting the session debugging feature to be launched by Requestly!
One of the best tool for developers. This tool gas brought down our deployment cycle from 3 days to just 2 hours and also reduced dependency on external clients.
We have been using Requestly at GlobalSign to allow concurrent backend and frontend development, it has become an integral part of our development lifecycle.
This has been a research aspect of my part of the stack when it comes to requestlies usage data. but I give it 4 stars because its been a seamless integration.
