When I started as a youngling in this industry, I found myself unrealistically recalcitrant towards new, drastically different ways of doing things. Sure, way different tech stacks - but we relate things to what we know. Because once you grok it, using other forms of CSS starts to feel archaic, tedious and just a hop, skip and jump away from being an utter sink of energy and creativity. The fun with Tailwind is the joy it absolutely brings when you use it. Plus, a website redesign quickly suffers from a “boil the ocean” problem, so if a CSS framework can help me make it work and make it pretty - I’d consider it. And CSS is my help area, I just don’t really want to mess with it.
I rarely look to third party code to solve my first party problems 2, but I’ve been doing this long enough to know when to look for some help. I mean, when the docs look this saucy, that’s hook, line and sinker for me:
This is their thing, and some other web devs who I trust vouched for it. It’s not just hanging out in some repo with a few commits. Plus, I’ve been here before with CSS.īootstrap is great, except when it’s not! But Bulma isn’t great, except when it is! Even so, after looking at their documentation and resources, it’s clear they are serious about this. But people talk in the programming world about shiny things a lot, so it had to pass the smell test. With all of the talk being about Tailwind, I naturally was curious. The CSS I had rolled before was just enough, and that was it 1. But, as Spend Stack changed hands and I wanted to start writing more - giving this place a refresh became something I really wanted to do. Before, my site was as simple as I could make it and I was happy with that. On the next post, I’ll compare some key features between Charles’s and Proxyman’s and what I think about the pros and cons of these 2 apps.As you can see, a lot changed. Meanwhile, Proxyman is not fully-developed yet, but it seems to have many potentials. It is a powerful debugging app, but somehow it doesn’t fit me. If you are a tester or front-end developer, the odds are that you have been familiar with debugging tools like Charles. I can open my Response content to edit, which I found pretty convenient. When I click to that, the app reveals some Editing tools that I am currently using. There is a small button on the top right corner. However, to see content of a Response, you will need to Enable domain and Reload the request. If you double click a request, you would see the Request and Response on the right panel. I find it pretty useful to organize and focus, especially when I have to work with several applications, domains. I can Drag, Drop a specific domain into Pin section. This is one of interesting features of this app.
I searched for app Unsplash with Command+Shift+F (You can also search the app using Search bar) It’s time to actually see HTTP requests/ responses coming from Unsplash app You can see that all my iPhone’s requests showed up after I finished configuring proxy
Thus, final step is go to Setting App -> General -> About -> Certificate Trust Settings -> Turn ON “Enable full trust for root certificates” It is said that since the iOS 10.3+, we need to trust certificate manually.
Then go to Setting -> General -> Profile -> Select Proxyman -> Install On my iPhone, I go to Safari -> -> Accept permission for installing Proxyman Certificate However, in order to see content of Responses, I will need to install Proxyman Certificate Then I used the same Server and Port on Guideline to configure Proxy on my iPhoneġ.4/ Allow permission to install ProxymanĪt this step, I saw all requests coming from my device on Proxyman app.
Go to Setting -> Wifi -> (Select current Wifi) -> Configure Proxy -> Manual.
There would be an instruction to guide you how to configure certificate on iPhone/ iOS Simulator Then go to Certificate -> Install Certificate on iPhone Device. The UI is pretty clean and I can see all the requests coming right after opening the app I downloaded the newest version from its website In this post, I used the app to see Response content from Unsplash app on my device. It is a native macOS app and its features are so handy for debugging that I really want to share with others. Last month, I’ve found a newly developed application called Proxyman.
