Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
