I've built a REST Test client in my spare time

In plain words

WcfStorm is a test client for REST services and WCF web services. It is designed for developers who need to test and debug their APIs. The software includes features like syntax highlighting for JSON, intellisense for HTTP headers, and supports multiple WCF bindings. Users can create both functional and performance test cases to verify their services work correctly.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN,<p>In my spare time (evenings and weekends) I've built 3 products which have been relatively successful even with little advertising (only google ads budgeted at $30 per day). The latest one is WcfStorm.Rest; which is a REST service test client. I built it because I found that the current tools did not…

  I made a JSFiddle-style playground to test and share prompts fast2025 · langfa.st · ▲50

  I built this out of frustration as I lead the development of AI features at Yola.com. Prompt testing should be simple and straightforward. All I wanted was a simple way to test prompts with variables and jinja2 templates across different models, ideally somthing I could open during a call, run few tests, and share results with my team.

  Hi HN, After watching a lot of Show HN's here, it's finally my turn to show something. This is the first real project I have shipped, so it is extra special to me. For those who will inevitably ask why I made yet another mockup editor I covered it on our blog (http://blog.mocktailsapp.in/why-build-yet-another-mockup-editor-tm). Not all the features mentioned in that post have been implemented yet. As such Mocktails is pre-beta software and very minimal. It does not even have user accounts or any actual server side component at all for that matter (yet)! Our intention is to build Mocktails…
