Reviewer scorecard
“Still the best API development environment. Postbot generating tests from your API schema saves hours. Collections shared across teams are essential.”
“Real-time UI without writing JavaScript. The BEAM VM handles millions of concurrent connections effortlessly.”
“It has gotten bloated over the years but the core functionality is unmatched. The AI features are genuinely useful, not just checkbox items.”
“LiveView proves server-rendered real-time UI is viable. For CRUD apps with real-time needs, it eliminates the SPA.”
“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.”
“Server-rendered real-time UI is the sleeper approach. LiveView, HTMX, and similar tools challenge SPA dominance.”
