Postbear (Addon Communication Inspector)

Postbear is a utility addon for developers and power users who want visibility into addon communication. It captures incoming and outgoing addon messages so you can inspect payloads, understand protocol formats, and troubleshoot integration issues between addons.

What You Can Do

Capture and view addon traffic
Inspect message details: time, direction, sender/target, prefix, and channel
Decode Base64/Deflate payloads and view raw/hex data
Edit message content and resend for testing
Import/export captured traffic for sharing or offline analysis
Browse prefix mappings to identify which addon owns a prefix
Minimap toggle and settings panel for convenience

Typical Use Cases

Debugging addon sync issues in a party/raid
Reverse-engineering or documenting addon message formats
Validating changes to AceComm or custom protocol implementations
Replaying and comparing message payloads between versions

Notes

This is a developer-focused tool; it does not modify or automate gameplay.
Designed for Retail; compatible with common addon messaging libraries.
