Open-source Postman alternative with type safety▲275
Hello! This is Jeane and Samuel and we’re building RecipeUI. RecipeUI is an open source Postman alternative that uses TypeScript to statically type and autocomplete requests. We built this because current API tools don’t deal with the fact that some APIs are just painful to work with. For us, it’s usually error after error as we try to figure out how to properly form the first request. We recorded a demo to show you how TypeScript helps us autocomplete a request correctly. https://youtu.be/O_Mly_p-g5s How does our platform improve the developer experience? The analogy is…

Spaghettify – A VSCode Extension to make your code worse with AI▲323
Recently, I saw Github Next Code Brushes (https://githubnext.com/projects/code-brushes) which is a VSCode extension that can use AI to do things like make your code more readable, add types, etc. This inspired me: what if there was an extension that could use AI to make your code worse as well? Meet Spaghettify. An extension I developed that can do things like: - Obscure your code - Introduce a bug - Make the variable names way too descriptive - Use nonsymmetrical whitespace - Add irrelevant/rambling comments - Document the code with emoji - Document the code in any…

Posting v1 – The modern HTTP client that lives in your terminal▲184
Hi HN! I just released version 1.0 of Posting, an open source terminal application I've been working on which you might find useful if you work with, test, or develop HTTP APIs! Posting (https://github.com/darrenburns/posting) is an HTTP client, not unlike Postman and Insomnia. However, as a TUI application, it works over SSH and enables efficient keyboard-centric workflows. Your requests are stored locally in simple readable YAML files, meaning they're easy to read and version control. Some other features include: - "Jump mode" navigation - Environments/variables…
