Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“End-to-end type safety with Eden treaty is the killer feature. Bun-native performance is excellent.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“Bun-first means limited runtime flexibility. If Bun adoption stalls, Elysia is stranded. Hono is safer.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“Type-safe APIs without code generation is the right direction. Elysia's DX hints at what web frameworks should feel like.”
