thunder client is way better than postman

two tools that made me actually enjoy learning backend: 🔁 nodemon — auto-restarts server on save (why is this not default??) ⚡ Thunder Client — test POST/DELETE routes right inside VSCode

@biswasbuilds @buildwithshyam You can use Thunder Client for team collaboration also.

@buildwithshyam For teams and collaboration? Yes. For quick local testing? I prefer lighter tools like Thunder Client or Hoppscotch. Depends on use case.

Be honest, Is postman still the best in 2026 ?

Thunder Client for VS Code has been gaining traction recently. It's lightweight, integrated directly into the editor, and supports collections similar to Postman. For API-first development, Hoppscotch (formerly Postwoman) is also worth checking out - it's open-source and browser-based. That said, Postman's collaboration features and ecosystem are still hard to beat for team workflows.

POV: You’re still manually testing APIs in 2026. Thunder Client AI: “Relax. I’ve got this.” ⚡🤖 Most devs still don’t know this. 🔍 Link in bio / pinned comment. #APITesting #VSCode #AIForDevelopers #DevTools #AICE #ThunderClient #SoftwareEngineering
