Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“Eliminates 90% of server state management boilerplate. Caching, refetching, and mutations just work.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“Solved server state management so well that it changed how React apps are built. The devtools are excellent.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“TanStack Query's multi-framework support and the broader TanStack ecosystem are defining modern web data management.”
