Reviewer scorecard
“10x faster package installs, native TypeScript, and built-in test runner. It's replacing Node.js in my new projects.”
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“Speed is real and measurable. Node.js compatibility is good enough for most projects. The future of JS runtimes.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“Bun is forcing Node.js to improve. Competition in runtimes benefits everyone. Speed + DX is the winning combination.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
