Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
