reqit v0.7.0 — Collaboration & Team Platform
reqit v0.7.0 is here — the biggest release yet. 60+ packages, 50+ components, one binary under 20MB.
What started as a Postman alternative is now a full API workspace: design, test, document, collaborate, and deploy — all local-first, all under your control.
The headline: Team features, zero lock-in
- Self-hosted sync — WebSocket-based real-time collaboration through your own infrastructure. No cloud subscription, no data leaving your network.
- Inline comments — threaded discussions on any request or collection. Local-only or shared via sync server.
- Role-based workspaces — Viewer / Editor / Administrator, enforced locally and server-side.
- Visual Git merge — side-by-side conflict resolution for JSON, headers, and form-data. Resolve and commit without leaving the app.
- Audit logs — append-only, tamper-evident trail with timeline viewer and JSON/CSV export.
- Team invites — Git ref–based invites and permission-wrapped URLs. Identity from local git config — no sign-up.
Every protocol you need
- HTTP/HTTPS — full method support, connection pooling, 30s timeout, cancel mid-flight
- WebSocket / SSE — bidirectional real-time with message buffer and connection state
- GraphQL — queries, mutations, subscriptions via WebSocket, schema introspection
- gRPC — gRPC-web-text unary and streaming
- SOAP — 1.1/1.2 envelope builder with WSDL parsing
- MQTT — publish/subscribe with QoS and message history
