Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“The 'copy into your codebase' approach is genius. Full ownership, full customization, no version dependency hell.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“Solved the component library problem by not being a library. The most practical approach to UI components.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“Beautiful defaults that look professional immediately. The theming system makes brand customization straightforward.”
