I built Astraio because I was tired of bloated, resource-heavy request clients. Here is the quick rundown:
🚀 Why I launched it: I wanted a frictionless workflow. No forced logins, no mandatory cloud accounts-just open the app and test your endpoints instantly.
🦀 Why Rust: Native performance. It starts instantly and uses a tiny fraction of the RAM consumed by Electron-based clients.
🌐 Why Open Source: Transparency and privacy are critical for dev tools. I built this to solve my own headache, and I wanted to share it with the community so anyone can use, audit, or improve it.

rust and iced is honestly such a cool combo for a desktop app, and it actually feels snappy when you fire off a request. wish more api clients went this route instead of electron.

Finally a native API client that doesn't hog memory like the Electron-based ones. The GraphQL support feels snappy and the interface stays out of my way.

the rust + iced combo is honestly such a smart call, native performance without the electron bloat is basically the dream for an api client. love seeing teams go that route.

built in rust with iced is such a smart call, you basically skip the whole electron tax and still get a clean gui. genuinely impressed that something this responsive is open source.
