Kick off Hacktoberfest 👩‍💻👨‍💻👌 with the next best thing DEVs will ❤️

#hacktoberfest

Happy hacking! 🎃

Are you looking to contribute to an open source project in this Hacktoberfest 💜? or want to get started with latest technologies like VueJS & NuxtJS 🔥?

We're developing hoppscotch.io, a web open source API request builder, and would love to count you as a contributor to improve our components & applications 🙏

Don't forget to star the project.

GitHub → Web app →

GitHub logo hoppscotch / hoppscotch

Open source API development ecosystem - https://hoppscotch.io (open-source alternative to Postman, Insomnia)

3.7k+ stars on GitHub • #2 product of the day on Product Hunt • featured in Indie Hackers, Hacker news, Hacker noon, YouTube & open source dev podcast etc

Get started 🚀

As the project’s size grew quite a bit the past couple of weeks, you might ask yourself, where to get started 🤔?

Meet the Technology Stack:

  1. HTML + CSS + JavaScript - for magic ✨
  2. NuxtJS: The Vue.js Framework - for wonder 🌈

For the purpose of this first experience, I have selected the following 5 features which have to be implemented in our "core" functionalities with Nuxt.js (Vue.js).

Check out the issues tab for more 😋 or alternatively you can create new features (and prolly PRs 😉) or optimize any existing functions/routines.

Cherry on the cake 🍒🎂

Beside unlocking some karma points, you know what would be cool with your contributions 🤔? All the improvements you'll submit will not only have effect to the components, but also they'll have an impact on open source dev community & be included in our live platform used by 2k+ users. Kind of cool to know that something you would develop will for sure be available in an online live application! isn’t it?

Hacktoberfest 🐙

Support open source and earn a limited edition T-shirt! 🔥

To qualify for the official limited edition Hacktoberfest shirt, you must register and make four pull requests (PRs) between October 1-31 (in any time zone).

Wow, I just went through fetcher. That's a cool thing 🔥. Hope you could share your insights and experience on developing it. And hopefully add/port similar features to Postwoman 🎉

Hoping you would surely contribute to Postwoman 😄

EDIT 0: Your "Generates Snippets" for

JavaScript Fetch
cURL
HTTP
C#
PowerShell
Java

Hi friend,

Postwoman is not an API provider. It's a cross-platform, cross-device supported testing tool for API development. It's lightweight, fast and open sourced. It's a progressive web app with tons of features 🎉
