Comment on Show HN: A Swiss army knife for testing HTTP from the terminal

Comments

Nice project. How are the request waterfalls done?

thank you! we just grab the timings info for the request from the underlying HTTP library, and sprinkle some ASCII art on top. That part was inspired by httpstat [1]

We want to extend those with support for Server-Timing next, and also Core Web Vitals [3] (via Playwright) for web pages.
