If you flip a coin 9 times, there is an about 0.2% probability of getting heads on every toss.
That’s also how rare it is for a GitHub repo to cross 1,000 stars ⭐ so happy to share here the repo: github.com/VoidenHQ/voiden
Among all vanity metrics, this one might actually be the most meaningful, if you are building open source.
So I am asking tool builders, open source enthusiasts and software engineers building something on the side:
are you working on something open source? share it below and grow its visibility!
The biggest difference between #Postman and #Voiden is not the UI. It's the paradigm.
Postman is built around fixed forms.
- Headers go here.
- Params go there.
- Body goes in another tab.
- The structure is fixed and predefined.
You fill in the boxes.
@VoidenMD works differently.
- You create your own building blocks.
- You compose requests however you want.
- You define abstractions that match your team's workflow.
One asks you to adapt to the tool. The other adapts to you.
Technical writers, what's the biggest reason API documentation drifts from specs in your experience?
I open sourced this tool which keeps API docs together with specs and tests in the same MD file so they stay up to date. Thoughts?

New release: v2.0.1 🚀
Highlights:
- Voiden-runner, a standalone CLI for executing .void files.
- Added @voiden/create-plugin for scaffolding plugin workspaces.
- Reworked the core request engine to be fully protocol-agnostic, with REST, WebSocket, and gRPC implementations now living entirely in plugins.
- Some bug fixes, performance improvements, and reliability enhancements.

Twitter is cool.
But its 100x worse and NOT cool when your timeline is full of people who say that:
"twitter is cool. But its 100x times better when your timeline is full of people who code and build things".
I am actually curious:
are these bots or are they actual people who have given up on being authentic and are counting on repeating the same content?
does this "strategy" bring follower growth, reach or anything?

This was a talk from @apyhub and @samuelkaluvuri. Many interesting things were discussed there but this was one of the key take aways.
- In the AI era, everyone is a builder, the sky seems to be the limit, so we want to be build airplanes. And thats great.
- the problem is later, when we need to operate the airline.
what would you build if you didn't have to operate it?:)
CISOs, Security Architects, Compliance Officers, IT risk officers, Platform Engineers,
What's the most painful vendor questionnaire you have had to complete before integrating with a third party API?
compliance and security officers,
what does "trust" mean when it comes to the packages and services that your teams (and their agents) use?
ISO27k? SOC 2? Continuous monitoring of the service to make sure its compliant? what else?

real question for backend devs:
how much does your API testing tool actually matter in your workflow?
I keep seeing tools like:
- Voiden
- Bruno
- Insomnia
- Apidog
- Postman
- Hoppscotch
(and probably a few others I am missing)
and I am wondering where the real differences actually show up in practice.
are they basically all just nicer UIs over curl, or do you genuinely feel workflow differences once you commit to one?
Getting started with @VoidenMD was always easy.
Now its becoming even easier even for those who are have been using Insomnia.
You drop in your export, and everything gets rebuilt as native .void files: folders, requests, and structure included , without forcing you into a workspace model or making you rebuild things manually.
Auth, headers, params, and request bodies are all mapped automatically, so your setup comes back exactly as it was, just in a simpler format you actually own.
No lock-in. No rebuild. Just your API work, back in files.

Imagine X wouldn't allow copying and posting the exact same message, and told you that if you are sooooo interested in e.g "what people would do if AI was gone tomorrow", you can go to the original post and engage with the community there..
What would you do then? Would you come up with an original thought to post or would that be too radical?
API developers, software engineers and QA testers, what is the most important feature of an API Client today?
I hear a lot about this one: "Not being a bloated mess"
But what does being bloated mean? Which functionalities do you consider bloat in an API tool?
