unkn0wn_root··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
Been working on terminal API client that uses .http file as source-of-truth. It's more like API-as-a-code then similar tools like Postman, Bruno or Yaak. Supports gRPC, graphQL, websockets, SSE, local mocks, SSH/k8s etc.

unkn0wn_root··on Slumber a TUI HTTP Client
Resterm is also another api TUI client https://github.com/unkn0wn-root/resterm but uses .rest/.http files instead.

If you want to give a try yet-another-api-client tool with kind of different approach - give Resterm a try.

unkn0wn_root··on Show HN: Apicat – A Lightweight Offline Postman Alternative
I've build something similar [0] but lives in the terminal and is fully open source if anyone prefer terminal based app but still wants to work with .http/rest files.

unkn0wn_root··on Postman which I thought worked locally on my computer, is down
I don’t personally use Postman, but at work we use .http files, which are easy to version and manage with Git. The downside is that you’re almost entirely tied to VS Code and the REST Client extension. I’m not a big fan of VS Code myself (I use Vim), so if anyone interested, I created resterm [0] - a terminal client that works with .http or .rest files and adds some extra "nice-to-have" features. I’m currently working on adding OpenAPI spec importing.

unkn0wn_root··on Show HN: TermChat – Terminal chat (rooms/DMs) via SSH
Yeah. I’m still doing some cleanup work and removing old code while improving current so I think in the coming week or so.
unkn0wn_root··on Without Systemd
I would appreciate if anybody would explain why there's so much hate against systemd. I don't get it but maybe I'm just cusual Linux user.
