First and foremost, I love this project, made in native languages, it's super fast and lightweight
, for real, thanks you so much for creating this project. Keep on it!!!

I'm a hardcore proxy software user for web applications security analysis. I just wanted to propose some features or user interfaces features which me (and many people I think) would love to have:

When repeating a request, it would be great to see the response on the same popup, this way I could make modifications to the same request without pressing "Edit and repeat..." every time. For real, this could be super super useful. Also, a shortcut for "Edit and resend" would be great.
Scope filter: It would also be super useful to have a filter where I can add scoped domains, so only the domains in the scope are shown (it can be one or more).
I don't know if it's possible now but, It would be great to have an option on preferences to auto-enable HTTPS Response.
It would be great to have a "tool" or feature to decode response and request data. Many times, web applications uses Base64 and URL encode on the requests parameters or on the response, it's incredibly useful to have a "right-click > decode as..." and a "right click > encode as..." menu.

Sadly I'm not a good C++/Swift programmer, if it were, I would implement those features myself. Again, I love this project, please, do not give up!

Edit: It would also be great to make this project open source, I think many people could be interested on improve this project.

Thank for kind word @dreadlocked, your proposal is the motivation to help me improve Proxyman 🥇

Regarding

Repeat in right panel, I admit that there is couple users, who request this feature too. It's super useful to repeat right away without open the additional panel. Thus, I will consider to implement it in next versions.
Global scope filter is actually is in our road map to filter down desires domain depend on particular conditions.
I will consider to put this option into Preference, since the interception of all HTTPS requests/responses will impact significantly the performance of app and internet connection. (For instance, proxymitm enable all, and the internet is around 20% than before when testing with fast.com)
I would like to consider it as a plugins which I'm implementing in this years. You can download it as you want and it doesn't bother other users, who don't use base64 encode/decode.

Thank you for the detail proposal. Let me know if you need to discuss in detail 👍

+1 for Qucik Repeat! 😍 Can't wait for plugins tbh.

Hey @dreadlocked,

I've released the Proxyman 1.3.6, in this version, I add a small tweak in Compose windows (Screenshot), so you can keep the windows and send the request many time you like without losing your edit.

This could help you for the first check in your proposal 👍

Thank you in advance 🌟

Hi! It's cool to see that you are improving the UI/UX, nice work! For this point I was thinking on something like this https://imgur.com/a/K8O7kBb (I made a bit of photoshop :D). A split panel. When you click Send, the response appears on the second panel, then you can modify your request again and click send, and the response appears again on the second panel.

This way I can modify a single request as many times as I want without many clicks.

During a web application analysis, when testing an endpoint for bugs, or unexpected behaviours, lot of requests are done testing different things on the same endpoint, for example, changing the value of a numeric parameter for a string, changing a single value for an array, changing request headers... etc So it's critical to have a way to repeat a request multiple times without having to "Click Send (panel closes) > Click on the new generated response to see the response > Right click on Edit and Repeat ... > Edit query a bit > Click send ...".

Thank for elaborate feedback @dreadlocked, I agree that by this way, you can boost the productivity more than just closing and edit again. I will take it into account in next builds 👍

@dreadlocked commented on GitHub (Jun 2, 2019):

When debugging an app which has a lot of requests per second (many of them) It's really hard to find the response when "Edit and resend" is used. I'm having this issue since I'm using Proxyman. On other traffic analysis apps such as Burp Suite, when you "Edit and resend" a request, the response is show besides the request, ZAP Proxy does this way too.

It's easier to work with the response spawning on a "window" or section besides the request and being able to edit and resend the same request as much times as you want, than "Edit and resend", then looking where the response is (usually at the bottom, but when the application does many request on background, such as web apps, this will nearly never happen), then looking the response body and then Edit and resend again.

Time ago I did a "proof of concept" of how this beside response section could look, based on Burp Suite and ZAP Proxy UI: https://imgur.com/a/K8O7kBb

Thanks in advance!
