Reviewer scorecard
“This is my daily driver. The codebase awareness is unreal — it understands project structure, conventions, and dependencies without being told. Multi-file refactors just work.”
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“Rate limits are the only downside. When it's running smoothly, it's the best coding assistant available. When you hit limits, you're stuck waiting. Plan for that.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“The terminal-first approach was the right call. Developers live in their terminal. This isn't an IDE plugin — it's an AI-native development environment.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
