mock, an API creation and testing utility. Any feedback is welcome!
Readit NewsI’ve found tools like Charles really useful for understanding what’s happening on the wire. When I need something more repeatable (tests, offline work), I usually reach for a mock server instead. I ended up building a small one for my own use and later open-sourced it:

Great article. In addition, updating your mocking code can often be time-consuming. To try to make this easier, I built mock[1], which streamlines the process of setting up mock services for testing.

It's also possible create an HTTP service that acts as a wrapper to yt-dlp with just a few lines of shell, I created this example in the following link:

How does this differ from swagger?
Swagger is a tool for API design and documentation.
Mock on the other hand is an actual API creation utility with which you can define endpoints, execute some logic for each endpoint and then return some data to the client. There are other similar features which are covered in the user guide.
Mock is not: - A tool for API Specs or documentation - A GUI tool.
I admit explaining the usefulness of this tool is not the easiest thing.
Any feedback is welcome!

It frustrates me no end when large commercial web sites fail to store state in URLs. It should be updated when the user clicks the 'submit' button of a page, especially when related to searching.
Some products have these fancy KQL style search parameters but if you forget to 'save the search' within the applications 'Save Search' facility, then when you duplicate a tab the search is lost.
It feels rude when sites ignore the UX improvement by not leveraging the power of URLs to store current state.
