Reviewer scorecard
“Still the best API development environment. Postbot generating tests from your API schema saves hours. Collections shared across teams are essential.”
“Open-source Copilot alternative that works with any model. Connect Ollama for fully local AI coding assistance.”
“It has gotten bloated over the years but the core functionality is unmatched. The AI features are genuinely useful, not just checkbox items.”
“Use your own models, keep your code private, and customize everything. The open-source approach to AI coding.”
“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.”
“Open-source AI code assistants with model flexibility will capture users who want privacy and control.”
