Bridge v0.3.0

Bridge 0.3.0 introduces a major upgrade to how requests and collections are imported, navigated, and shared between the web and desktop applications. This release adds first-class support for importing Postman Collections and OpenAPI specifications, route-based navigation across the web app, and deep-linking support for the desktop client.

🚀 Highlights

Universal API Collection Importer

Bridge now supports importing API definitions from multiple formats through a unified import experience:

  • Import cURL commands
  • Import Postman Collections
  • Import OpenAPI / Swagger specifications (JSON or YAML)
  • Automatic format detection
  • Drag-and-drop file imports
  • Collection preview before import
  • Syntax-aware editor with automatic language detection

Imported collections are automatically converted into native Bridge workspaces, folders, and requests, making migration from existing API tools significantly easier.

Route-Based Navigation for Web

The web application now supports URL-based navigation and state synchronization.

You can now:

  • Open workspaces directly via URL
  • Link to specific folders and requests
  • Use browser bookmarks for API resources
  • Navigate with browser back/forward controls
  • Share URLs with teammates

The application state stays synchronized with the URL while maintaining the same workflow and behavior as the desktop application.

Desktop Deep Linking

Bridge desktop now supports deep links using the bridge:// protocol.

Examples:

  • bridge://workspace/{workspaceId}/request/{requestId}
  • bridge://workspace/{workspaceId}/folder/{folderId}/request/{requestId}

This enables:

  • Opening specific requests directly in the desktop app
  • Seamless transitions between web and desktop experiences
  • Deep-link powered workflows and integrations

A new Open in Desktop action has also been added to the web application, allowing users to instantly open the current workspace or request in the native client.

✨ Improvements
