Gottp – A Postman/Insomnia-Like TUI API Client Built in Go
What it does: A Postman/Insomnia-like TUI for building, sending, and organizing HTTP/GraphQL/gRPC/WebSocket requests. Supports saved collections stored as YAML/JSON files, environment variables, auth presets, response diffing, and request history. Why it's needed: This is the single largest gap in the Go TUI ecosystem. The abandoned wuzz (10.5k stars) proved massive demand for terminal HTTP inspection, but it's been dead for years. Posting (Python, ~6k stars) and ATAC (Rust, ~2k stars) are thriving alternatives in other languages. The Go options — gostman and go-gurl…

What it does: A Postman/Insomnia-like TUI for building, sending, and organizing HTTP/GraphQL/gRPC/WebSocket requests. Supports saved collections stored as YAML/JSON files, environment variables, auth presets, response diffing, and request history. Why it's needed: This is the single largest gap in the Go TUI ecosystem. The abandoned wuzz (10.5k stars) proved massive demand for terminal HTTP inspection, but it's been dead for years. Posting (Python, ~6k stars) and ATAC (Rust, ~2k stars) are thriving alternatives in other languages. The Go options — gostman and go-gurl — are learning projects with known limitations. Developers who work over SSH or prefer keyboard-driven workflows have no mature Go tool for API testing. Existing alternatives: Posting (Python/Textual), ATAC (Rust/ratatui), wuzz (Go, abandoned), Bruno (GUI). A Go version wins via single-binary distribution, no Python runtime dependency, and Go's excellent HTTP/networking standard library. Complexity: Hard. Multi-protocol support, collection management, and auth handling require significant engineering. Libraries: Bubble Tea + Bubbles (tabs, text inputs, lists) + Lip Gloss + Glamour (for response rendering)

Hey guys and gals! I'm learning Go at the moment and LOVING it. I was hoping to get constructive feedback on a project I'm working on - goatee - which is a notification server that utilizes Redis pub/sub and WebSockets. It's fairly bare-bones at the moment but I'm hoping to add in a lot more features as time goes on such as queueing and WebSocket channel subscriptions (via Go Socketio possibly).

I've been building go-tui (https://go-tui.dev), a terminal UI framework for Go inspired by the templ framework for the web (https://templ.guide/). The syntax should be familiar to templ users and is quite different from other terminal frameworks like bubbletea. Instead of imperative widget manipulation or bubbletea's elm architecture, you write HTML-like syntax and Tailwind-style classes that can intermingle with regular Go code in a new .gsx filetype. Then you compile these files to type-safe Go using `tui generate`. At runtime there's a flexbox layout engine based…
