Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
