Show HN: A tool to debug complex Stripe interactions (built with Claude's help)

I 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.
