Reviewer scorecard
“Runs everywhere — Workers, Deno, Bun, Node. The middleware system and RPC mode are well-designed.”
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
