But then how did Postman became so popular - we can't deny it became the default.

subscription based right?

A list I made btw - mostly on markdown :

But whyyyy?

But how do you collaborate?

so proton is now a movement.

Hehe - those were the days my friend - we thought they would never end - we sing and dance forever ----

lol

all the comments are written by humans and no bots.

I guess the need is going to only increase !

Just in case you wanna try it out : https://voiden.md/

We have a very different approach to API tooling.

Awesome - would love some feedback !

Just fyi - voiden too is not us based.

Happy to help out - Check out our docs too - https://docs.voiden.md/docs/getting-started-section/intro.

Its trigonometry - big brain time.

They never learn.

Interesting point. Are you thinking about this from the parser/tooling side, or from the person writing and reviewing the file?

We intentionally started from Markdown because we wanted .void files to stay standards-compliant and not reinvent a new document format. Markdown already gives us a familiar, portable way to write docs, notes, examples, and explanations around the request.

Frontmatter handles the document-level metadata, Markdown stays the human-readable documentation layer, and the structured Voiden blocks handle the executable API parts.

We could put everything into one YAML object, but then the file becomes more like a config file than a Markdown document. The tradeoff we’re making is: keep the file readable in GitHub, PRs, and plain text editors while it still gives Voiden enough structure to execute requests reliably.

That's a great observation !

It right now helps in opening a specified file or directory in Voiden, see the version, etc.
