Reviewer scorecard
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“Jest-compatible API with Vite's speed. ESM and TypeScript work without configuration. The watch mode is instant.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“If you're using Vite, Vitest is the obvious choice. Even without Vite, the speed improvement over Jest is significant.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
“Vitest is replacing Jest as the default test runner. Speed and modern JavaScript support drive the migration.”
