Webhook Testing Tool
Inspect, debug, and replay webhooks during development.
● The Problem
Testing webhooks is painful. Developers use ngrok tunnels, add print statements, and pray. When a payment webhook fails at 2am, there is no replay button and no way to see what payload was sent.
● The Solution
A hosted webhook inbox that captures, inspects, and replays webhook payloads. Supports local forwarding for development, payload validation, and automatic retry testing.

Webhook.site exists but is basic. Svix focuses on sending (not receiving) webhooks. RequestBin is discontinued. Clear opportunity for a polished developer tool.
Why Now?
Every SaaS product now has a webhook API. The number of integrations developers maintain keeps growing, and testing them remains stuck in 2015.
