AI Analysis

●●SolidShip ItBig Brain

Zero-config proxy injects into React apps so Claude can simulate backend failures and test loading states.

Strengths
  • •No code changes required — proxy injects client bundle that patches fetch and XHR automatically
  • •Streams live React fiber tree to Claude, not just DOM state or network requests
  • •MCP tools integration means Claude Code picks it up without manual configuration
Weaknesses
  • •Only 4 commits and 1 star — very early stage, unclear long-term maintenance
  • •React-specific approach limits applicability compared to general browser automation tools
Target Audience

React developers using Claude Code for testing and debugging

Post Description

I built a proxy to let Claude (or any other agent) take control of your react application. I basically built it out of my own need and as an experiment to learn one things or two.

It sits between the dev server and the browser allowing to intercept, modify and navigate in your app. It can test user journey, backend down services and so on and fix them if your app breaks.

I tried to secure it as much as I could and any contribution, feedback is really appreciated! Hope you guys enjoy it
