Hi everyone,

I'm building Lens, an open-source Rust tool that helps developers visualize application traffic during local development.

The goal is to make interactions between applications, databases, and services visible through a terminal UI without requiring changes to application code.

The project currently includes:

• Transparent proxy architecture
• HTTP/1.1 support
• PostgreSQL protocol decoding
• Secret redaction
• Cross-platform design
• Modular Cargo workspace
• Architecture documentation, ADRs, CI, and contributor guides

I'm now moving into the implementation phase and I'm looking for contributors interested in systems programming.

Areas where help is needed:

• Tokio & async networking
• HTTP/2 implementation
• PostgreSQL protocol improvements
• Redis/MySQL protocol parsers
• Terminal UI (Ratatui)
• Integration testing
• Windows support

I've tried to make onboarding straightforward with documentation and scoped issues.

Repository:

Issues:

If any of these areas interest you, I'd be happy to discuss implementation details or help you get started.
