Voiden - A Markdown based Open Source Alternative to Postman - Lemmy.World

Voiden is an offline-first, git-native API tool built on Markdown - and it very intentionally didn’t start as “let’s build a better Postman”. Over time, API tooling became heavyweight: cloud dependencies for local work, forced accounts, proprietary formats, and workflows that break the moment you’re offline. Testing a localhost API shouldn’t need an internet connection. So we asked a simple question: What if an API tool respected how developers already work? That led to a few core ideas: - Offline-first, no accounts, no telemetry - Git as the source of truth - Specs, tests, and docs living together in Markdown We opensourced Voiden because extensibility without openness just shifts the bottleneck. If workflows should be transparent, the tool should be too.

All of that when I can just keep using emacs’ https://melpa.org/#/restclient.
I’ve been enjoying verb.

Wow, an org mode rest client; this might be worth switching to! What I like about these is that you end up with documentation in a standard file that can live along with your APIs. Org mode can of course be saved either as org files, or exported as any number of things - whatever your team uses. Ok, time to go bully some vim users.
