Bequest is [an iOS app] of type [developer utility] that [creates and replays HTTP/S requests].

1. Universal app (iPhone and iPad)
2. 💯% Swift (excluding Pods)
3. Developed and maintained open-source at this location
4. Released on the App Store for the gasp-inducingly phone-grabbingly TouchID-pressingly price of $0.99

(Are goals 3 and 4 mutually exclusive? Stay tuned to find out!)

• Create an HTTP/S request with:
  • A URL
  • A method (GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, or any custom value)
  • Zero or more headers
  • Zero or more parameters
  • A standard or custom User Agent
  • ...?
• View the response including:
  • Headers
  • Text contents
  • An option to render the response in a webview
  • Open in other apps(?)
• Save the request to be replayed later
• Display and restore saved requests

• Search saved requests by URL, header, parameter
• Syntax highlighting for response text
• Prettify/auto-indent response HTML/JSON/XML
• CloudKit as saved request storage
• Something nicer to look at than a spinner and text label while it's loading
• A slick app icon with a "B" and an arrow or something EVEN CRAZIER

(As in, we'll build them from the deck of our yacht that we bought after releasing Bequest)

• Response asset loading timeline (waterfall)
