Reviewer scorecard
“The most readable CLI for HTTP requests. Intuitive syntax that doesn't require remembering curl flags.”
“Jest-compatible API with Vite's speed. ESM and TypeScript work without configuration. The watch mode is instant.”
“curl is powerful but HTTPie is readable. For quick API testing, the syntax difference matters.”
“If you're using Vite, Vitest is the obvious choice. Even without Vite, the speed improvement over Jest is significant.”
“The desktop app is beautiful. Colorized output and JSON formatting make API responses easy to read.”
“Vitest is replacing Jest as the default test runner. Speed and modern JavaScript support drive the migration.”
