I'd rather use http://defunkt.io/dotjs/
But it requires Mac OS X, so I'd rather leave my rectum intact and use haxx.ly.
Isn't this a fertile ground for exploits? Session hijacking comes first to mind.
I've given some thought to that - it uses the same mechanisms as jsfiddle (different domains) and you can view the haxx code. As such CSRF should be fine and SSL isn't supported on public haxxlies.
I however, wouldn't recommend signing in through the service :)

How do you intend to handle legal matters? News sites fiercely defend their content so if I make a haxxly of CNN news site and remove all ads would you be liable and forced to remove that haxxly site?
In this day and age there's nothing to stop people running Adblock if they really don't want to see ads. This would be easier in the longer term for the person anyway (haxxly proxying to CNN is slower than going to CNN directly w/ Adblock).
Regardless, I'll cross that bridge if/when it comes up. Site terms are here: http://www.haxx.ly/terms

On HN Redesign http://www.haxx.ly/h/1m And so, doesn't work for me.

The actual code for that haxxly doesn't do anything (well - it attempts to load jquery and sets the font tag to arial). Check out http://www.haxx.ly/h/28 for a quick example.
The 406 is the view counter just reporting you've viewed the page. The script error was an error on that particular haxxly.

This is a great idea, although for productive use I'd prefer that as a browser extension or bookmarklet, rather than having to visit a foreign website (haxx.ly). On the other hand, that separate website is a comfortable way to show my results to others.
Stylebot (chrome extension) lets you do that. That's actually what I use for HN, by example.
It's a really good extension. Click it, click directly on your page to select a DOM element, enter any valid CSS, and it's saved for your next visit.

If we use this website to "remix" Brazzers can we get the Libyans to take their domain away
I'm not sure but, if this all sends requests from a single domain; it will be treated as a visitor-tracking-malfunction issue. I wouldn't like that if I'd have ads or related stuff like that in my site customized and viewed through here.
I do my best by forwarding the client through with x-fowarded-for however it's completely up to the provider.
That said there's nothing to stop the haxx disabling/hiding ads or the visitor running Adblock for that matter.

What kind of pro plans do you have in mind for this? I could use this for demonstrating slight UI changes of a design, but I would want it to be private.
I completely agree on the ability to make private "haxx". This could be a very useful tool, if they gave that option!
Cool. Reminds me of http://www.hackasaurus.org/ - though that seems to be more kid-oriented.
This is nice for website redesign competitions, i.e. when you want to involve your users in your next redesign and give prizes for the best ideas...
All of the pages just come up with "Not Found" for me
Any particular URLs? Does http://www.haxx.ly/h/28 as an example?
Me too, on all URLs including the one you posted.
If you wouldn't mind, please send me an email with your browser: [email protected]
Thanks heaps!
Thanks heaps!
It's the same for me, Firefox & Chrome (Ubuntu) :(
Google Chrome on Win 7, 64 bit - all pages report "not found". Also behind a companies squid proxy if that might have something to do with it.
Make it work please! It's cool idea, good for showing some design changes without having to change anything in the original page, not even a detection if someone wants to see the new preview etc.

In my case I am also running behind a Squid proxy, maybe it's what's wrong.
Tried to make HN iPhone friendly, you guys don't scale down your frame for device. That would have been nice ;)
Cheat and use only the iframe src.

I'd prefer Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey for this kind of task.
Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey works great if you just want to modify something for yourself, but I have yet to find a good way to share that with others (that are less technical). This would be a great resource to show a handful of small changes to a bunch of people by sending them a link and having it be as easy as that, though.
Is there anything to prevent malicious scripts being run?
It should be as good as jsfiddle.
The haxxlys run in an iframe on a separate domain to haxx.ly (similar to jsfiddle) to prevent you from hacking haxxly with haxxly.
You could use it to phish with but there is a giant banner saying this website is from haxxly and is altered. Also you can view the code yourself and flag it if it's bad.

Some improvements/feature suggestions:
1. It will be helpful to have an easier UI to modify the css/js - something like what the stylebot chrome plugin does.
2. This gets into a nice place for discussing web sites within a team. I can imagine this tool being really helpful for Marketing teams.
3. The above might ask for features like the ability to replace some text, highlight other text easily, and add comments. You might want to consider something like WebNotes (http://www.webnotes.net/) for feature additions.
4. Similarly the above suggests charging options based on team size: publicly visible or 1 person teams would be free, but with larger organizations you can have a higher price point. Also paid users might be able to get get benefits like saving pages for more than 2-3 months and being able to create a report of the work that they did (for their bosses/clients).
