Dhruv is interested in dev tools. Also building Voiden : https://github.com/VoidenHQ/voiden...
gRPC is a high-performance, open-source Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework that enables services to communicate efficiently across networks as if they were local function calls. It has become a popular choice for building scalable APIs, particularly within microservices and real-time systems. The efficiency of gRPC is driven by two primary building blocks: HTTP/2: Used as the transport…
API tooling looks mature, but the daily workflow still feels messy. Not because sending a request is hard. curl solved that decades ago. The broken part is everything around the request: auth, environments, shared headers, chained calls, debugging, docs, tests, mocks, history, and collaboration. Most API clients still treat requests like isolated forms. Method - URL - Headers. - Body - Auth -…

It came from a different mental model: work communication should be channel-based, searchable, integrated with tools, and shared across the team by default. That is why it felt different from the tools before it. Not just…
For all the noise around developer tools, API tooling has not really changed that much in the last ten years. Most of it still follows the same basic pattern: a GUI to send requests, a place to save collections, and some collaboration features. In some ways, it actually got worse. A lot of modern API clients took something that should have stayed local and simple and turned it into a cloud…
