Show HN: Prestige, a text based HTTP client, for working with HTTP APIs

• prestige

  14 376 0.0 TypeScript

  A text-based HTTP client in the browser. An interface-less Postman.

This is an HTTP client devtool, similar to Postman or Insomnia, but completely text-based. I've been developing it, using it for over a year now, as a weekend project. It's open source, hosted at GitHub, https://github.com/sharat87/prestige.

Hope you like it.

  An HTTP client for Vim, that can also be used as a REST client.

Ah! Yes, thanks for sharing. I should've guessed this existed for Emacs as well. I played around with implementing a similar concept like this in Vim, in 2019 (link: https://github.com/sharat87/roast.vim). Unfortunately, while I love Vim as an editor, I couldn't do a lot of features that I wanted. So I moved to the browser and built Prestige :)

  A JavaScript Framework for Building Brilliant Applications

  

Oh I'm not that super with JS to do something like this without a framework. It's running on MithrilJS (https://mithril.js.org/), which is, IMO, the most _practical_ framework for single page applications.

But saving all the HTML/CSS/JS and running it locally should work fine nonetheless though. What I'm a bit doubtful of is, if it would be able to do the XHR calls on file:// protocol. I'm not sure about how the browsers of today behave there.

Also, OAuth integration? Prestige has OAuth? (surprised-pikachu-face.gif)

  Organize and send HTTP requests from Emacs

Rest client is great, but a lot of the cool (emacs) kids have moved over to verb-mode [1]. To be fair, you can probably achieve something similar with org-mode and rest-client, but the verb-mode integration is very nice.

Very nice!

One feature of postman/hoppscotch[0] is that it makes it easy to do oauth2 calls PRIOR to hitting the actual desired endpoint. If you're itching to add new features may I suggest that might be a good one :) ?

Thanks for your work.
