If you want to give a try yet-another-api-client tool with kind of different approach - give Resterm a try.

Thanks! I have to admit that I wasn't able to make heads nor tails of Resterm. It may be above my pay grade.

I'm all for more text-based API docs tools, though, and from the README, Resterm does look well thought out and certainly capable! But it gave me flashbacks to my first days trying to learn Emacs.

On a big TUI kick recently and that looks incredible! Good stuff

You haven't commented on HN since 2018 and this is the post you came across totally organically to shill a new API client? Seems like they paid you to advertise here.

Nope. I found the tool in a web search a few months ago, and I've been filing bug reports and keeping up with the project for the past few months. I knew they were open-sourcing it and announcing it here today, so yes, I wanted to put my two cents in.

You're right, I don't post much here (or anywhere these days, really), and knee-jerk accusations like this are part of the reason. But sometimes I like to share things I find useful with other developers. I certainly don't make a living doing so, though.

Enjoy your day!

Yeah, that seems like pertinent information that'd make your original post a lot more transparent. You're obviously invested in this project to some degree even if it's not financial.

I don't know what to tell you, but I use the tool and think others might find it useful. If an appraisal from a user isn't welcomed here -- or somehow makes you less inclined to use it -- then I'm not even sure this site is all about.

And you wonder why I haven't commented here in the past eight years.

Thank you for the kind words!
