my goodness - I saw this pretty pretty long back.

You can join our discord to meet people who are using it : https://discord.com/invite/XSYCf7JF4F

but from a programmers perspective - shouldn’t it feel natural - you just keep filling up forms doing the same work again and again?

It means a lot of API tools feel like form-heavy tables where you just fill fields and hit send.

For example, testing CRUD often becomes multiple tabs, repeated headers/auth, and manual copy-paste of IDs.

they should not be forms for gods sake.

Codeberg.

100s of GBs yes.

yep i got one as well.

Voiden’s core request model is based on composable blocks (for elements like headers and auth) that are reusable across requests for a DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) approach, unlike Bruno which treats the request as a single, monolithic object that leads to copy-pasting and maintenance burden.

For documentation, Voiden provides living documentation by integrating runnable requests and human explanations side-by-side in the same Markdown file, ensuring it stays in sync with the API, while other tools’ documentation is often separate.

From the monetisation side Voiden: Is an open-source community infrastructure project backed by a different main business, reducing the pressure to monetize aggressively. Bruno is as an open-source project that is under pressure to find a viable monetization strategy, which can lead to license shifts or paywalls.

You can read about the comparison here : https://voiden.md/comparison

Its an alternative to Monolithic Requests - Voiden has composable blocks which are an alternative to copy pasting entire request objects. We do not lock in collections in cloud like other api clients like postman and have a file centric and git native approach. Also we offer a unified toolchain - for design, testing, and documentation as an alternative to juggling multiple disconnected apps.

Would love some feedback here: https://github.com/VoidenHQ/voiden

That’s a pretty good comparison.

The core idea of executable documentation next to your code is exactly what we were aiming for.

The difference is that Voiden is a dedicated, cross-platform app for the modern ecosystem, bringing the power of that file-centric workflow to everyone. We specifically go further by offering resuable composable blocks for requests (closer to functions than monolithic objects), a unified toolchain for design, testing, and documentation, and a clean, Git-native experience for all developers.

Well having decent documentation is kind of rare.

Thanks for this.

They do !

Unfortunately I agree but there are a few that are different, for example have you tried Voiden ( https://voiden.md/) maybe? We opensourced a few weeks back.
