Hello Vala folks.

I want to introduce you to a small project written in Vala. It's name
is nostril and it's purpose is to help people inspect HTTP-traffic in
an easy and straight-forward GNOMEish way.
Nostril acts as a proxy using libsoup and is simply plugged between
the application that generates HTTP-traffic and the target.

I started writing the program about a year ago until it was able to
perform it's most basic tasks, and then i abandoned it due to a lack
of time.
I assumed that no one else would show interest in the project anyway
but from time to time people write to me that they use it and think
it's cool, some of whom i know, some of whom are randomly from the
internet. So maybe i was wrong and there is some public interest indeed.

This is why I decided to bring this to a broader audience, and I think
the Vala-ML ist a good point to start.


As always there is good news and bad news. Bad news first: I still
don't have time to spend on this particular project. Good news:
nostril is still a very small project. There is now huge codebase.
There is only about five files with an overseeable amount of code in
it. There are still a lot of easy-to-fix-bugs and
easy-to-implement-features to be done. Nostril seems to be the perfect
opportunity for people who want to start at hacking on a cool and
useful project in vala and GTK.

Do you want to adopt a nostril? Then wait no longer and become a core
contributor :)

You find nostril in https://github.com/grindhold/nostril

Even if you don't want to adopt nostril, feedback, criticism, further
ideas, thoughts and stars are  appreciated.


Thank you,
    Grindhold
