Show HN: Jqview, a simple native GUI for inspecting JSON with jq

I started using `jq` for my API project and I have to say it makes JSON munging much nicer on the command line. I think it'd be really cool in order to have a `jq` based redirection service, where you can paste in the URL of the API you want and a query parameter of the `jq` query you want to create.

Something like:

https://jq.io/https://myapi.com/endpoint?jqparams=$PARAMS

So like bash via HTTP :)

Oh cool! Kinda wish you had url params vs. having to curl with request data (kinda like https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/), but wayyy better than nothing!

are you saying you want to use a json object as input to a query?

Retool does this btw. I work there because the product is SICK!

I think `jq`'s syntax is a bit different than bare JSON (I do basic stuff like `echo $CHANNELS_RESPONSE | jq -r ".public_identifier"`), I think it'd be like running a bash script as an input to a query :)

Also not sure whether to start repping TinyDev (my project) but I can pass in an arbitrary read-only SQL query via HTTP to create a materialized view from table(s). HTTP + local procedures is like a very simple RPC :)
