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.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
“The API design is thoughtful. Integrates well with existing stacks.”
“Vendor lock-in concerns. Hard to migrate once you're committed.”
