Comment on Show HN: Voiden – a free, offline, Git-native API Client

Looks to be similar to Hurl https://hurl.dev/ https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl Apache-2.0

Not sure, it's hard to parse your website. Too many empty taglines like "docs that do more" and "git-native", and the 5px font in your screenshots does not help. This screams "no programmers only designers here". Honestly it's a red flag for a programming tool.

You almost had me until the "5px font" line, then it just went into waffle territory.

As for the Hurl comparison: that’s like saying Hurl is the same as Bruno, Yaak, and the rest of the crew - if aiming there, sure. Voiden isn’t a themed CLI, so visually it’s not even in the same category. And functionally, the whole point is having docs, tests, and the spec all in one place. That's something CLI tools don’t really aim to solve.

Some overlap in request-sending, sure, but very different purposes.

It's text-based no? So more like Hurl than Yaak? Or is it more like a notebook?

Yes I would say presenting your software with tiny full-screen screenshots of your IDE where you can barely see the code, rather than code snippets, is very telling. I can right click them and "open image in new tab", but that is the only way to get a sense of the program from the "features" page, other than the GIF on the landing page.

Compare with the Hurl landing page, I immediately know what this does and how it's used: https://hurl.dev/
