Hey PH! 👋
This started from pure frustration with Postman's "pay us or lose your team features" model. Git sync, mock servers, contract testing — all locked behind a subscription. These should just be free local dev tools.
So I'm building exactly that. Today's launch is Phase 1 — the core is solid and working:
Test your API endpoints— fire real HTTP requests, inspect responses, and save everything as plain files in a Git repo. Your whole team works from the same collections, no cloud account needed.
The next two features are already in active development:
Inline contract testing — real-time OpenAPI/Swagger validation on every response, right in the UI. No cloud monitors needed.
Local mock server — one-click localhost server from your saved responses. Simulate errors and delays without touching the real API.
I'm building this in public. If you've felt the Postman pricing pain, I'd love for you to try Phase 1 and tell me what's missing. Every piece of feedback is directly shaping what gets built next.
