Review Thunder Client?

Thunder Client is praised for its seamless integration with Visual Studio Code, offering a user-friendly interface for API testing. Users appreciate its simplicity and efficiency, often comparing it favorably to Postman. However, recent changes to a paid model have sparked criticism, with some users feeling misled by the initial free offering. Despite this, many find it a valuable tool for streamlining their development workflow, highlighting its ease of use and the convenience of having an API client directly within their coding environment.

Amazing product integration, I was using postman in the past, but the ability to use an API client directly in VS code is a game changer! Intuitive, Easy to use, swagger file import, ... It's almost perfect !!! A nice feature would be a .thunder file in the VS code project that could be added to a repo and synced with the Thunder client :)

What I find uniquely useful about Thunder Client is the ability to execute API calls from remote machines. This lets you make request when the API server is only accessible from within a VPN.

Recently went paid with a limit of 25 requests per collection on the free tier. ** BEWARE ** Several reviews have also pointed out it is deleting your collections and environments if you roll back to the previously free version. Happened to me as well.

What needs improvement
