I’ve been building something I’d like developers to test.
Today, I’m opening thusdev-fetch to the community.
It’s a lightweight, TypeScript-first HTTP client designed around a simple idea:
Make HTTP requests easier to integrate without ignoring security, reliability and developer experience.
I built it because, in real projects, fetch is often only the beginning. Developers eventually need to add the same things around it: retries, timeouts, caching, error handling, interceptors, logging and security controls.
Thusdev-fetch brings these concerns together while keeping the API simple and close to the native Fetch model.
It includes:
TypeScript-first API
Safe retries with backoff and jitter
Timeout and cancellation
Request deadlines
Interceptors and plugins
Caching with TTL, ETag and stale-while-revalidate
SSRF-oriented URL validation
Redirect controls
Request/response size limits
Streaming responses
Structured errors
Metrics and request hooks
Security-conscious logging
It’s not meant to replace tools like Postman, Insomnia or curl. Those are great for manually testing APIs. Thusdev-fetch is meant to live inside your JavaScript/TypeScript application and handle HTTP requests at runtime.
But the most important part now is not what I built.
It’s what developers will find when they actually use it.
I’m looking for developers who can install it, try it in a real project, break it, review the API, and tell me what should be improved.
If you work with JavaScript or TypeScript, I’d genuinely appreciate your feedback.

Even 10 minutes of testing or one honest piece of feedback can make a difference.
This is the beginning of ThusDev, and I want the projects to be shaped by real developer feedback.
