Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 9, Utility: 7)

Hijakora is a Rust-based dev tool that hijacks a real HTTPS domain on your local machine, routing specific path prefixes to local services while proxying other traffic to the real upstream. It's interesting because it enables browser-based debugging against production-like clients without modifying client code, using Pingora for robust proxying and offering sophisticated features like header injection and CORS handling.

Target audience: backend devs, full-stack devs, devops
