Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“The best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
