How do you test APIs inside VS Code?

I’ve been experimenting with ways to streamline API testing without switching between Postman and VS Code. To explore this, I built a small extension that lets you send requests, debug responses, and visualize data directly in the editor.

Over the past couple of months, I’ve seen some interesting adoption numbers (300+ acquisitions with ~100 page views), which made me wonder:

👉 How do you all handle API testing in your workflow?

• Do you prefer dedicated tools like Postman/Insomnia?

• Or do you integrate testing directly into your editor/IDE?

• What features would make an in‑editor API tool genuinely useful for you?

For anyone curious, here’s the Marketplace listing: VS Code Marketplace – Conduit API Playground Conduit

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
