- Why did we build Voiden? - Why is Voiden open source ? - Why don't we vibe code everything? - Is pineapple on pizza a bug or a feature? - Should “The Matrix 4” have even happened? Answers to almost ALL of these questions are answered in this discussion with @samuelkaluvuri : open.spotify.com/episode/6UK2YB… after 16:38...

New Release: Voiden v1.4.1-beta.1 is out! This time we focused on enabling multi-request workflows + making streaming, search and your overall experience with Voiden faster, clearer, and more flexible. Key Highlights: 🔵 Collection Runner-Voiden Stitch: Workflow runner for batch-executing multiple files sequentially. 🔵 Multi-request support with the ability to execute separate sections and stacked responses in the same file! 🔵 Redesigned streaming panel for WebSocket & gRPC with collapsible headers. 🔵 Cross-panel search. 🔵 Smarter block imports and autocomplete. 🔵 Improved editor and UX with theme-aware layouts. + more fixes and improvements... Detailed change-log here: voiden.md/changelog Try the beta here: #beta" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">voiden.md/download#beta 💬 Question for devs: When running a collection, how do you manage requests that depend on previous responses? Do you chain them in one file, split them across files, or have some retry logic?

@ikechukwuu338 @callmidavid Has anyone tried voiden.md? It's also offline but also takes the discussion somewhere else: to a programmable interface - instead of a fixed form that postman and others impose to its users. The other thing is the reusable blocks and plain text all the way.

@callmidavid To be honest, I’ve mainly used Postman and Requestly for API work 😅 Haven’t used curl much yet, but I’m planning to start using it more.

You guys still use Postman to test your APIs🤨??

Just shipped Voiden skills for Claude and Codex AI agents. Your AI agents can now understand, read and work with .void files, request blocks, variables, scripts and the Voiden plugin system natively, helping you automate, edit, and debug workflows faster and safer. try it here: voiden.md/download repo: github.com/VoidenHQ/voiden

@Samaytwt Better in what sense? Voiden.md is the best alternative but at the same time it's not for everyone as it's doing many things very differently than postman.

Be honest is there any API testing tool better than postman?

Time to promote your product. 🚀 Share that product URL!!

@Shra_va_ni Voiden.md no questions asked. But it's not for anyone. If you liked postman and your only worry is the money then there are plenty of cheaper or free clones. Voiden is free but it's a totally new philosophy.

any alternative, better than Postman?

Stop Filling Forms. Start Composing APIs. 🟩 🔷 🟡 ♦️ APIs are systems. Each one is different. Each dev, each team has its own tests, designs, docs and workflows. So why do all lAPI tools force everyone into the same rigid UI? Voiden is different. Every part of a request, (endpoints, headers, auth, query params, body etc.) is a reusable block. - Blocks live in slash commands, so they only appear when you need them - Compose requests and tests by assembling blocks - Reuse blocks across files and projects - Version control like code No fixed forms. No clutter. Just flexible, programmable workflows that adapt to how developers actually work. ✨ Build workflows that match your thinking, not the tool's assumptions. 📂 Repo: lnkd.in/d4rG6PcU ⬇ download: https://voiden.md/download

@LeCodeBusiness @pmitu @ProductHunt welcome to try github.com/VoidenHQ/voiden its on markdown, plain text all the day. Its also base don reusable blocks so its way more than a postman alternative. Try it out and let me know :)

@pmitu @ProductHunt Postman's move is a textbook example of what not to do with a dev tool: monetize the workflow before the value. Devs tolerate friction, they don't tolerate feeling locked in. The OSS alternative doesn't need to be better, it just needs to exist and be trustworthy.

In case your were hit by Postman recent pricing change. They increased cost for small teams (and vibe coders of course) for API building. Someone on @producthunt forum recommended free open source alternative with local usage. I think it's a smart marketing move to capitalize on competitor's price hikes I'd bet that these guys traffic has already increased х10

this is the right approach. every dev tool I've used that tried to be everything ended up being mediocre at everything. lean core + plugin system means users only pay the complexity cost for what they actually need. learned this the hard way building CH-UI — started with too many features, had to strip back to what actually mattered

Most API dev tools try to solve every workflow inside the core. That’s how they become massive and bloated. With Voiden we are pushing new functionality into plugins instead. The core stays small. The ecosystem does the expanding. Read more here: https://docs.voiden.md/docs/plugins/build-a-plugin Try Voiden here: https://voiden.md/download

looking for Postman alternative? [https://voiden .md] is a worthy open-source alternative that requires your attention!

@alishohadaee Great!

@ritu_twts Voiden - plain text all the way, with reusable blocks and offline.

is there any API testing tool better than postman ?

@stuartgreigdev @nalinrajput23 Amazing. Give it a go and let me know what you think.

@NikolDimit @nalinrajput23 I'll give it ago, looking for an alternative to postman at the moment

Do any API testing tools work better than Postman?
