Hoppscotch 👽
Feel free to contribute on GitHub 💚
In case you missed it!
Story this far: I joined Zartek, which is a start-up based in Kochi, Kerala where I work as a full-stack developer.
The story behind Hoppscotch: The very first task I was assigned is an API integration of an old project. That's when I came across Postman API testing tool. Postman has separate builds targeted to each operating system made with Electron. I use a low-end PC and can't possibly afford to run another Electron app. From that moment onwards, I wanted to make an API testing platform which is:
- Open Sourced 💚
- Runs online
- Have multi-platform support
- Have multi-device support
- Accessible from anywhere
That's how Hoppscotch was born (this is not at all an alternative to Postman - yet, it does the job very beautifully and minimally. It needs more features and love which I hope we all can give by contributing on GitHub).
When I did a background check on API request builders, Postman offered various Plans & Pricing, there were a lot of other API request builders based on cURL, etc. But none of them seems simple, minimal, and efficient.
That's why I created my own API request builder with pure JavaScript (I used Vue.js) + HTML + CSS 💖
Did I mention this service is all free of charge and 100% open source? Yes, It's free and always will be.
The Hoppscotch API request builder helps you create your requests faster, saving precious time on your development.

Hi there!
Just a side question:
what driving factors made you chose Vue instead of other front end frameworks?
I ask this because Postwoman seems promising and getting traction, so that it's interesting to learn about the tech choices behind it.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. "Postwoman" is really a funny and well thought name imho
Actually, this is my first Vue project. I wanted to learn Vue. And "learn by doing a project" is my way of learning. That why I choose Vue.
** The initial prototype was built in a night. And I didnt had a second thought on naming.
I started playing with this today. Great work, keep it up!
Thank you!
How do you handle secrets management, or incorporate it into your UX work flow?
Asking for a friend...
<.<PW is a 100% client side rendered application. Request is API calls are made and send from client machine unless Proxy mode is toggle on.
And how are the secrets / credentials / etc. handled on this client side rendered application?
E.g. if I want to use some sensitive authentication values in a header, is there a way for me to protect the protection afforded by my browser?
Fantastic!
Have features for teams? I want to sync the collections with more people
Thank you!
Teams support is a WIP. We're quite slow on this though time. Hopefully will be able to complete in upcoming weeks.
OBSESSED
