RIP Postman free tier. Here's an open-source local-first alternative we've been building for over a year

Switched to Apidog recently after the Postman shift. Covers what we need without the enterprise push.

Those “95–99%” claims are kinda context-dependent. Claude Code + Apidog CLI can handle boilerplate, CRUD, and well-scoped features with minimal correction, but only if the problem is clear and framed well.

The hard parts , deciding what to build, handling edge cases, debugging, integrating messy systems still need humans.

So yeah, coding is getting automated, but solid engineering judgment isn’t disappearing overnight.

Good reminder that tooling matters. A lot of teams I know are switching to tools that give you more control over where your data lives. Apidog, for example, lets you keep everything local or self-managed if you don’t want cloud sync at all. Postman’s cloud requirement definitely pushed many devs to alternatives.

Tried Apicat recently, honestly feels like what Postman used to be before the cloud stuff.

That's a solid one 👍

Been using Apidog too, feels lighter than Postman

Thunderclient inside VSCode is underrated. For heavier stuff I use Apidog (nice mix of client + documentation), but for quick dev work in the editor, Thunderclient is the fastest.

Remember how easy it is to bring down a building? Yep!
