Reviewer scorecard
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
