Does anyone know which terminal emulator is used in all the examples? Looks very good!
It’s iTerm 2

#22This is fantastic, I love the jump mode navigation. Will be using this for the foreseeable future. Thanks for making it.

#23This looks great. I love that it's using YAML files that can be version controlled and shared.
I developed Just-API (https://github.com/kiranz/just-api) with YAMLs for automation testing of APIs.

#24Would be great to be able to use it with the hurl format to have a GUI for hurl: https://hurl.dev/docs/hurl-file.html
I'm going to explore integration with other formats in the future. Right now there's experimental (incomplete) support for importing from OpenAPI v3. I'd like to add Postman and Insomnia collection importing too. Some kind of integration with Hurl could be very nice too, but would likely come further down the line.
Please, allow using flat file http messages.
IntelliJ has a great build in http client that's using HTTP message files and otherwise has a similar feature set. But having to launch intellij every time is a real PITA.

#25this looks really great! since insomnia started requiring an account I never really settled on anything else.
the one thing that worries me is compatibility - I echo the voices asking for hurl support. it kinda sucks that each of these programs invents its own format.
it would also be great to be able to run these requests as part of a CI pipeline, without opening the TUI. supporting a format like hurl would add this ability automatically, because the same files could be used by other clients.
p.s. upon trying it out the first things i missed is "how do I create a new collection?" and "how do I exit?". it felt that both should have been a command in the command plate. in the end if created the collection manually as a folder and exited using Ctrl+C, but I'm still not sure if that was the intended way.

All HTTP APIs that are all made to interact with JSON.

#27Everything looks great except for it being written in Python. I’ll work on developing something similar with Go.

I've switched to the built-in HTTP client in Jetbrains IDEs. The experience is a _little_ worse for one-off requests, but it's a lot nicer for things you do more often, and very easy to version control and include in a project.

#29Am I the only one who prefers to use nodejs and fetch for this these days? Especially since I need it to work in Windows (and no, I can't install WSL).

Well as soon as it gets interesting, JSON goes out of the window. No firmware engineer would send me JSON over HTTP, for example.
