https://github.com/progapandist/stripeekI'm a backend developer who often works on complex Stripe-based custom billing. I always missed the ability to see what Stripe libraries send over the wire in real-time: to optimize the number of requests, read through complex nested payloads or debug failed requests. This is the framework-agnostic local proxy for Stripe traffic that logs all Stripe API activity on the fly in a TUI specifically optimized for Stripe. It never stores your keys and filters out sensitive data from headers. It requires a one-line change in your Stripe initializer for dev environment to pipe traffic through. No further adjustments to your backend code is necessary. It's not an alternative to Stripe Dashboard, but it complements it really well and saves a lot of debugging time and nerves when trying to make sense of multiple levels of nesting in the request/response payloads.
