Whim-proxy is a lightweight Go tool that uses a server-client architecture with WebSocket reverse-tunnels to allow developers to receive webhooks on local machines behind NAT or firewalls. It is interesting because it provides a simple, self-hostable alternative to commercial webhook relay services with built-in support for Redis persistence and per-channel event logging.

Target audience: backend devs, devops
