Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“Deno 2's Node.js compatibility changes everything. Secure by default, great tooling, and now practical for real projects.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“Deno 2 finally delivers on the promise. npm compatibility means you can actually use it without friction.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“Security-first runtime design is correct for the AI era where you're running untrusted code. Deno Deploy is compelling.”
