Why we built TiefWise (and what we got wrong with API tools)

Hey everyone if you re curious about the philosophy behind this tool, I wrote a longer piece on why we built TiefWise:

One thing I realized over 18+ years of API work is that tools often trade productivity for features and cloud lock-in.
I wanted something that stays local, works with git, and keeps debugging simple.

Would love to hear what part of your current API workflow you wish just felt easier.
