I quite like it. It's still very new so I don't think it can be used on big projects, but I like the idea and see how it could be a good tool.

For the TUI / CLI haters, I think they're not following. The company that did postman showcased Newman in their site, which is simply a postman cli. Hurl is a good side project too.

I am used to any way to make a request then use jq, but this tool isn't bad.

It's very early so it's missing feature that's all. Like I don't see how the author proposes Enter for navigating in the parameters but no way to get back when you want to edit something you've went before.

Saving requests, sessions is a cool feature though, this can allow for easier request creation. Maybe implement the tool with the Neovim interface and it might pop up.
