Show HN: Proxelar – MitM proxy with (rata)TUI, terminal, and web interface

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. Stil

You could do with a .gitignore and this kind of thing is usually an indication of `git commit -am` which one day is going to do something you'll really regret: https://github.com/emanuele-em/man-in-the-middle-proxy/blob/... https://github.com/emanuele-em/man-in-the-middle-proxy/blob/... https://github.com/emanuele-em/man-in-the-middle-proxy/blob/... I would value a blurb in the readme saying what this is trying to do better than the actual mitmproxy or its ZAP friend
