Hey developers! 👋
I've been working on OpenPost, a free, open-source desktop API client built as an alternative to Postman. The goal is to make API testing accessible without mandatory accounts or paid feature restrictions.

✨ What is OpenPost?
OpenPost is built with React, TypeScript, Tauri 2, and Rust, with a focus on local-first data storage and a desktop-native experience.
🛠️ Features
- HTTP requests: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, and OPTIONS.
- Response inspection: View status codes, headers, cookies, and response bodies.
- Collections and folders: Keep API requests organized.
- Environment variables: Reuse configuration across requests.
- Import and export: Work with cURL commands and Postman collections.
- Authentication support: Configure authentication for your API requests.
- Local-first approach: Designed to keep your work on your machine.
🧪 Looking for testers and contributors!
I'd love for developers to try OpenPost and share honest feedback.
- Try it with your development APIs.
- Report bugs or unexpected behaviour.
- Suggest features that would improve your workflow.
- If you can solve an existing issue, contributions and pull requests are welcome!
- Help improve the documentation, tests, and overall user experience.
