Collaboration?
- Comment on When the Category Leader Stalls : Postman and the Future of API Tooling 1 week ago:
Curl is great. I use curl. Most developers use curl. But “you can call an API with curl” and “curl is enough as an API working environment” are two very different claims.
The problem is that real API work is almost never just one request typed into a terminal like some kind of beautifully minimalist Unix haiku. It usually turns into auth, environments, copied headers, reused payload fragments, request chains, documentation, testing, debugging, sharing examples with teammates, reviewing changes in Git, and trying not to break prod because you forgot to swap one token or one base URL.
At that point, people are not really using “just curl” anymore. They are using curl plus shell scripts, plus notes, plus env files, plus copied commands from Slack, plus random JSON files, plus tribal knowledge. Which is fine, until it becomes annoying, fragile, and weirdly hard to collaborate around.
That is the gap api clients like Voiden is trying to solve.
So for me it is not “curl vs Voiden.” curl is a low-level execution tool. Voiden is a workspace for actual API work: writing requests, organizing them, reusing pieces, documenting them, testing them, versioning them in Git, and not duplicating the same headers/body/auth setup 45 times like a person slowly losing control of their life.

I guessl postman pivoted - didn’t die really. Now they are a more of a AI Infra company - blog.astromode.ai/blog/hello-astro-ai/
Also httpie is great - you may like Voiden.We opensourced some days back and are not just a postman clone !
Take a look here maybe : github.com/VoidenHQ/voiden
