Show HN: Yaade – An open-source, self-hosted, collaborative API dev environment
- Aeolun 4y agoDoes this do something like Insomnia environments? I really like having only one API collection that I can use with our 15 different environments.
- jonrosner 4y agothanks for your comment. Environment for collections is definitely on the roadmap. Probably one of the first things I will implement next. How would you want a feature like this to look? Is having multiple collections with the same content but different environments OK or would you rather have one collection with multiple environments and you can switch them at the click of a button?
- Aeolun 4y agoThe second one (one collection has multiple environments). I’m thinking of a situation in which I have the same API deployed to dev/qa/production environments. I don’t really use much more than ‘{host}/api/v1/dostuff’, but not having duplicate collections you have to make changes in is really nice.
- jonrosner 4y agoUsing Postman has become an essential part of my development workflow. Unfortunately I found that I was very limited by the local nature of Postman. I built Yaade to easily and securely share my API collections with my teammates. Alternatives like Hoppscotch may provide an awesome user interface but their self-hosting capabilities just lack far behind of what I need for actual production use. Feel free to try it out and comment. Running Yaade just takes two docker commands! Your opinion is very welcome.
- arcastroe 4y agoThis looks great! I'm a big fan of postman and bigger fan of self-hosted solutions. Can't wait to try it. Regarding the note: > DO NO FORGET TO ADD A TRAILING SLASH TO YOUR URL https://yaade.example.com https://yaade.example.com -> https://yaade.example.com/ https://yaade.example.com/. Would it not be possible for the chrome extension to handle this on its own?
- jonrosner 4y agoThanks for your reply! Looking forward to hearing your feedback. Yes things like this will be handled by the tool in the future. For now I want to gather as much feedback as possible to know which are the most wanted features / improvements. I have a roadmap in mind already and want to confirm if that is what other users want too!
- tluyben2 4y agoThanks for making this. I find postman deteriorating rapidly for years in their quest to make money.
- jonrosner 4y agoThanks. I feel the same way. I hate not knowing which features will be behind a paywall.
