• httpx2

  There is already a popular project called httpie, so httpy would be really confusing in non written form. Beside that, I completely agree, the name could be better. https://httpie.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 days ago

• The 2026 Toolchain Revolution: From Postman to CLI, Code to Prompts — What Stays and What Goes

  Postman dominated API development for over a decade because it made REST discovery, testing, and documentation accessible without deep command-line expertise. But 2026 has flipped that advantage.

• Ask HN: What dev tools do you rely on that nobody talks about?

  You may like https://httpie.io/ if you've not memorised all the curl flags already. The CLI tools way of making requests with headers and post bodies is really nice in my opinion `http PUT pie.dev/put X-API-Token:123 name=John`. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
