What makes you say that though... What specifically about it do you find awful? I prefer xh on the off times I need to test an API, but I remember sometimes it was nice to be able to save API calls as a set, like in the GUI programs.

API calls can be saved as a set with curl too. It's called folders (or in my case, shell scripts where each call is a bash function).

Let's be honest, that's not really the same thing, is it. Not as easy to work with. It's been a while since I used a GUI like that but I remember it being much easier to manipulate query parameters and post body etc with a GUI. At least according to me. 🤷‍♂️

Pretty much everything said on the website... I'm a hardcore cli, max. tui user. Using electron is torture.

😁 I feel you, I'm pretty much the same.

Would be neat to have a TUI query suite where you could organize an API in a similar way. If anybody knows one, drop it below! 🙏

maybe there's an nvim plugin?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

That would be neat. I migrated to Helix a couple years ago though.

Kind of like Ruby on Rails
