https://apps.ducret.dev/har-analyzer/ (demo video in the page)

I'm building HAR Analyzer: a native macOS app for searching and inspecting HAR files locally, without uploading sensitive traffic to the cloud.

Like Network Dev Tools but with a better UX.

Same here. I was inspired by your post https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/31/stateless-mcp/

I reversed engineered my supermarket API and made a custom MCP to automate my grocery shopping. Now I can fill my cart through ChatGPT.

Very interesting, thanks!

For the fingerprinting part, can you explain the difference with the JShelter browser extension (https://jshelter.org/)?

I checked as you did in your demo video with https://demo.fingerprint.com/playground (using JShelter in Firefox). It produces a fingerprint detector report, like so :

{

    "fpd_evaluation_statistics": [
        {
            "title": "Navigator.prototype.plugins",
            "type": "resource",
            "resource": "get",
            "group": "BrowserProperties",
            "weight": 0,
            "accesses": 0
        },
        {
            "title": "MediaDevices.prototype.enumerateDevices",
            "type": "resource",
            "resource": "call",
            "group": "BrowserProperties",
            "weight": 1,
            "accesses": 2
        },
        [...]
}

However, it appears there is no way to display what was actually produced by the browser.

Was this the reason you had to build your own browser? Or is it possible to extend JShelter to do the same?

Take a look at https://www.tducret.com/pure-markdown It's just a single JS script import, and then plain Markdown. You can host it as-is, no build required (à la Jekyll, Hugo...).

You can verify the content with : curl https://www.tducret.com/pure-markdown/
