I made something! Introducing Nightingale, a fast and resource-efficient REST client

REST clients today can use upwards to 1000MB of memory. This leads to a poor experience for people who don't have access to high powered machines, such as junior indie developers who are just jumping in to the world of software development. So I built a REST client that uses ~60MB.

Introducing Nightingale, a fast and resource efficient REST client for Windows 10.

Let me know what you think! Looking forward to your feedback 🙏🏽

Looks great from the screenshots! Is this a UWP app or Electron? It would be nice to try it on Mac.

Thanks! It was written with UWP. I would love to bring it to Mac, but I can't afford one 😢
