Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
