Changelog

UI Refresh

alpha13

  • UI elements have been scaled down to make room for the stuff that matters.
  • Request history is now much more colorful.
  • Finally a "+" button to add a new tab!
  • New Key/Value fields are now added automatically as you type and the "New Param"/"New Header" buttons have been retired!
  • Live URL preview as you type query parameters!
  • The Visualizer should consume less memory.

Pseudo tab-switching

  • Massive internal overhaul now allows for a super small memory footprint when creating new tabs. I'm calling this technique 'pseudo tab-switching' and will be writing about it on dev.to soon so follow me there.

Let the authentication begin!

  • Basic Auth and Digest Auth are now live! (Work on OAuth 2.0 is on as you read this!)

Upcoming features

  • OAuth 2.0
  • Projects (similar to Postman's Collection or Insomnia's Workspace)
  • Named requests
  • Environment variables
  • Google Drive and cloud-powered project sync across devices.
