Reviewer scorecard
“Still the best API development environment. Postbot generating tests from your API schema saves hours. Collections shared across teams are essential.”
“The 'copy into your codebase' approach is genius. Full ownership, full customization, no version dependency hell.”
“It has gotten bloated over the years but the core functionality is unmatched. The AI features are genuinely useful, not just checkbox items.”
“Solved the component library problem by not being a library. The most practical approach to UI components.”
“In an era of AI agents that can call APIs directly, do we still need a GUI for API testing? The future might be AI testing APIs autonomously.”
“Beautiful defaults that look professional immediately. The theming system makes brand customization straightforward.”
