PostPilot

What it does

PostPilot is a developer tool that combines an API client, database client, and data inspector into one streamlined interface. Connect your requests using Variables, and organize everything with reusable Collections. Fully local. Fully private.

PostPilot is a powerful, privacy-first tool for developers and testers to debug APIs, query databases, and streamline data inspection - all in one place.

PostPilot is an API client, a database client, and a JSON/XML inspector in one local desktop app. No account. Watch: create an order, patch it and diff the response, then pull the OTP directly from the database and use it in the verify request - all without leaving the app. One local workspace for API requests, database queries, and data inspection - no cloud account required. All requests, queries, and data stay on your device - no cloud sync, no hidden uploads. Your API keys and database credentials never leave the machine. Send API requests, query databases, and inspect data side by side. No more switching between Postman, a DB client, and a JSON viewer. Define reusable variables, group…from postpilot.dev

In the maker’s words, at launch

Switching between Postman and Dbeaver, then any random JSON viewer, PDF parser online is boring and frustrating - especially when you have to test the same case again and again. So I built an all-in-one API client, DB client, and Data Inspector. What you can do with it: 1. Data inspector tool It all started as a…

  JSON QueryOct 2025 · jsonquerylang.org · ▲154

  I'm working on a tool that will probably involve querying JSON documents and I'm asking myself how to expose that functionality to my users. I like the power of `jq` and the fact that LLMs are proficient at it, but I find it right out impossible to come up with the right `jq` incantations myself. Has anyone here been in a similar situation? Which tool / language did you end up exposing to your users?

  I built DataPilot after 2 years working inside a data team where SQL operations were fragmented across too many tools. DataPilot combines: - shared SQL workspace (queries, variables, comments, history) - recurring and one-shot runs - data quality / metric monitoring with alerts - CSV/XLSX delivery workflows - cloud, desktop, and on-prem execution modes - optional AI for schema documentation in context Built with ASP.NET Core, Blazor, PostgreSQL, and SignalR. Happy to answer technical questions and tradeoffs. Product Hunt:…

  Inquery (YC W23) – Real-time events for Postgres2023 · github.com · ▲23

  Hi HN, we're excited to share our open source tool with the community! Inquery is a utility for Postgres that triggers webhooks when rows are inserted, updated, or deleted. It uses database triggers that send low-latency websocket messages to a Go application. This application then calls any configured webhooks with a JSON payload that includes specified values from the database row. Let us know if you have any feedback or questions!

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Term.everything – Run any GUI app in the terminal▲1,094

  I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

  I recreated Windows XP as my portfolio▲1,032

  Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
