Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“The most readable CLI for HTTP requests. Intuitive syntax that doesn't require remembering curl flags.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“curl is powerful but HTTPie is readable. For quick API testing, the syntax difference matters.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“The desktop app is beautiful. Colorized output and JSON formatting make API responses easy to read.”
