The choice to go native with Wails and Go instead of another Electron app is refreshing, especially for something that handles sensitive API tokens. The speed difference is immediately noticeable compared to the bloated clients I'm used to.
Snappy launch and the Go backend really shows in how quickly requests fire off. Wish the response viewer had better diffing between requests, but overall feels like Postman without the bloat.
Native support for WebSocket and gRPC testing would round this out perfectly, since most REST clients end up needing those eventually. Also curious if you're planning team sync or shared collections, since that tends to be the next thing people ask for once they get hooked on a new client.
Finally a desktop api client that doesn't feel like it's weighing down my whole machine. The startup time is genuinely impressive and having everything local without an account is honestly such a relief
Runs way snappier than Postman on my M1, and I genuinely appreciate that nothing leaves my machine. The Wails setup shows.
Love that it's a native desktop app instead of another Electron wrapper, the Wails approach feels like the right call for keeping things snappy. Privacy-first as a default for an API client is honestly rare these days.
