Reviewer scorecard
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“The most readable CLI for HTTP requests. Intuitive syntax that doesn't require remembering curl flags.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“curl is powerful but HTTPie is readable. For quick API testing, the syntax difference matters.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
“The desktop app is beautiful. Colorized output and JSON formatting make API responses easy to read.”
