Reviewer scorecard
“Perfect for prototyping. I described a dashboard and had a working app in 3 minutes. Not production-ready, but unbeatable for speed-to-demo.”
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“Impressive demo, but the generated code is messy and you'll rewrite most of it. If you can't code, you can't fix what it breaks. Know what you're getting into.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“As a creator who needs quick landing pages and MVPs, this is a game-changer. I built a waitlist page with email capture in under 5 minutes.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
