Q: Roadmap
Where do you intend on taking this product?
If you could add webhook forwarding tools similar to hookdeck (ie request routing/rate limiting/scheduling) this could be a really useful tool for us. Something like a proxy for incoming webhooks to make sure that requests are delayed to avoid rate limit issues from various SaaS products.
This would allow webhooks to make their way into my dev environment which is behind a firewall I presume? Does the cli work in Windows?

Nov 11, 2024A: Hello,
First of all, thank you for your great suggestions; we will definitely consider them. To be honest, creating a proxy for webhooks wasn’t part of our plans. You can partially achieve this with the CLI tool, but I understand that’s not exactly what you’re looking for. Since we initially developed the project as an internal development tool, we focused entirely on that. However, your suggestion is genuinely interesting, and while I can’t speak for the whole team at this stage, I personally think we might head in that direction. It does seem logical.
Our immediate plans include adding custom providers and developing a desktop app. We’re currently working on these. We haven’t set a roadmap beyond these yet, but we’re always open to good suggestions.
The CLI tool works on Windows as well, though it’s a bit cumbersome. Still, it shouldn’t be too challenging for an experienced software developer. You can review the relevant section of our documentation here: https://docs.webhooksimulator.com/docs/cli-installation
In the future, we also plan to release Chocolatey and Scoop versions.
