Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“Types from server to client with zero code generation. The DX is magical — change a server type, client updates instantly.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“For TypeScript full-stack apps, tRPC eliminates an entire category of bugs. No schemas, no codegen, just types.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“tRPC proved that type-safe APIs don't need schemas or code generation. The idea is being adopted everywhere.”
