Reviewer scorecard
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“This fills a real gap in the ecosystem. Worth adopting early.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
“The team ships fast and responds to feedback. Good sign.”
