    What's your use case? What are you looking for in an API tool? I'm helping build https://voiden.md/ We just dropped a major beta, FOSSing it by the end of the year.

    That's quite a list! Have you by any chance stumbled upon Voiden thus far? It just got a major beta release, and is aiming to open source in the following couple of weeks: https://…

    It's always the "it depends" kind of answer. In bigger companies, you have teams dedicated to API governance, whatever they say, it's how it's done. In early-stage startups, you ha…

    Hi, thx for the feedback! Testing the settings (including different themes and font sizes as we speak). Some tweaks are been made on the responses side as well. As per the rest of …

    Hi! Thx for that. Can you please open an issue with a screenshot here: https://github.com/voidenhq/feedback What you're saying doesn’t sound familiar whatsoever, but I'd really lik…

    And yes. It's completely free. With plugin extensibility for anyone to build/install whatever they want. The CEO committed to open-sourcing it, as well as to not monetize on anythi…

    Ah, yes, the cloud-dependent tool that forces you to pay per seat and log in for any type of collaboration is down when their cloud provider is. Anyways, the folks have spoken, no …

    I'm helping build Voiden: https://voiden.md But am thinking of a LOT these days, really, saw a bunch of interesting APIs on https://apyhub.com/catalog recently, so might go on and …

    I mean, IF the API is primarily tailored for UI presentation, there's already a text/html that you can use. I don't see the real problem here. Unless it's a type of API that has mu…

    A TL;DR of it is that for teams behind APIs, building, documenting, and testing APIs feels all over the place nowadays. It's a pain, it wastes time, causes errors, and frustrates e…

    Totally agree on this. There are things that belong in cloud, even a 3rd party one. Not everyone has a luxury of self-hosting. But keeping API secrets in any 3rd party cloud is jus…

    Working on it. It's hard to explain to devs who used to something how bad that something is. Especially when it once was awesome.

    Something internal, or did you publish it? What would you say is the most important stuff to you? Only simple API testing, or you gotta take care of the specing and documenting it …

    Comment #44809345

    Yep, sounds like that to me too. Pay-per-seat works well when no proper competition to go against it. What we built with http://voiden.md should be free forever, with monetization …

    Rethinking devtools: Escaping the Cloud and SaaS trap

    Just thinking out loud. If not for a gazillion other reasons, a recent outage from Postman should remind us again why proper design decisions matter in devtools. API workflows shou…

    TL;DR Voiden, a free, offline API workspace, decided to say no to SaaS "Teams" features because they're: 1) bloated, 2) expensive, and 3) break developer workflows. Git is the real…
