Most API friction doesn’t come from bugs.
It comes from context switching and out-of-sync tools.
Here’s how the two approaches differ in practice:
Postman
- GUI-first, platform-centric workflow
- Collections live inside the tool
- Git is an export / sync step
- Specs, tests, and docs are maintained separately
- Docs are generated artifacts and often lag behind
- Cloud-first, limited offline workflows
- Easy to drift out of sync during fast-moving sprints
Voiden
- File-first, Git-native workflow
- Plain Markdown files live directly in the repo
- Git is the source of truth
- Specs, tests, and docs live in the same file
- What you execute is the documentation
- Local-first, fully offline
- No manual syncing, no stale docs, minimal context switching
As teams scale, API work stops being just testing endpoints and becomes engineering.
That’s the shift Voiden is built for.
How do you manage APIs today tool-first or Git-first?
