Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“Best open-source coding agent. SWE-bench performance is impressive and the architecture is well-designed.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“Benchmark performance doesn't equal real-world reliability. Still needs human review for anything important.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“Open-source coding agents will democratize software engineering productivity. SWE-Agent leads this movement.”
