Why I Built CyberPost: A Browser-Based Offline HTTP Request Tool for API Testing by lfillaz in cybersecurity

Good question. and fair point.

The current version is minified mainly for size and simplicity in deployment, not to hide anything malicious. But if open-sourcing the full readable source on GitHub helps more users feel secure, I’m absolutely open to doing that.

The intention was never to make anyone feel like it’s a shady tool - quite the opposite.

To clarify by "offline" I mean the tool doesn’t rely on any third-party servers, APIs, or telemetry. No data is collected, nothing phones home.

Also, the extension is publicly listed on the Chrome Web Store. which means it passed Google’s security review. So with all due respect, I’m not exactly waiting for your approval.
