I'd like to see an API client that generates a API docs from a project / workspace.

As the creator of Insomnia, I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestion that you have. Insomnia is still in early stages, so anything helps :)

Same here, it seems this is still a huge hassle.

Plugging a competitor here, but I believe Postman has the ability to generate documentation.

Have you tried Swagger?

I've been using Postman/Newman for testing and really liking it overall. One thing I'd love to see in one of these apps is the ability to use web sockets in tests.

And it can also generate program code for a lot of languages, curl or wget requests etc, and is has the interceptor plugin.. cant really be beaten at this time...

Hi, is this a native (objective c / swift) OS X or just a web frame?

What are you main goals as far as being different from Paw, which is what I use and love thus far?

*edit: oh and congratulations on getting your app out there :)
