mockoon VS atbswp

Mockoon - Used as a logging server instead of using print in the console.

Hopefully, 2024 is the year I can stop freelancing and live the dream! Work on an open-source project I love while not feeling guilty about not bringing enough money home :D

--> https://mockoon.com

The project I'm working on is https://mockoon.com

Mockoon- Mockoon is the easiest and quickest way to design and run mock REST APIs.

Startup Name / URL: Mockoon (https://mockoon.com)

If you are looking for something with a GUI, I made https://mockoon.com It's open source, supports Faker.js and has a CLI to run the mocks in your CI env (or elsewhere).

I maintain an open-source app built with Electron. It serves tens of thousands of users every months and nobody complained in 5 years that it is being built with Electron. Not saying that Electron is perfect, and that it couldn't be a bit more performant, but as a solo maintainer (and entrepreneur) it helps me ship something that save people time. The burden of maintaining an application is already huge. Having to juggle with multiple environments would be a hassle and I definitely wouldn't do it.

That being said, if a "drop-in" alternative would be available I would probably try to switch at one point. But the alternative would have to be on par with the ecosystem (including packaging, binaries signing, etc.), the community, the ease of use... I don't think there is such a thing yet.

The app, if you are interested: https://mockoon.com

Company: https://mockoon.com

I recommend Mockoon https://mockoon.com/ it’s simple like Postman without create mock api server with code

This may not be what you're looking for, but have you seen Mockoon?

This book is definitely a good starting point, and if you want a glimpse of what you can achieve with an automation library (pyautogui in the case of the book), do check out atbswp

Using the library of the author pyautogui, I developed a macro recorder atbswp (Yes like the book) which makes it very easy to automate boring tasks, do check it out.

Seems I am late to the party. Anyway, if you like automation, check out atbswp

Shameless plug, you can do the same with this[0] albeit not in the CLI.

Source: I use both in a project of mine atbswp

I just released a new version of atbswp I intend to start working on the v0.3 (or 0.2.1 not sure yet)

Just to add options on top of QT5, there's also wxPython. It's pretty good, and fwiw, I use it for this project not the most convoluted GUI out there but it works. Iirc there's also Pysimplegui but I never used it.

Not necessarily, you can use a CI pipeline to verify that your project can be build with many Python versions. This is the workflow I use here[0]. It makes catching and fixing breaking changes easier. Plus, I'm confident the core team is not likely to introduce a painful breaking change (think Python 2 -> 3) soon[1]
