It's time to ditch the Thunder Client VSCode Extension!

From Devotion to Disappointment:

I used to be a big fan of Thunder Client and one of its first supporters. It was lightweight, didn't need a login, and had free features, making it the best REST API tool for me! But everything changed in April 2023 when they suddenly started charging money! Like many loyal users, I found I couldn't access my collections without paying. This was totally unacceptable! 😡 I don't mind developers making money, but this bait-and-switch tactic is completely crooked.

I Swear, An Alternative to Thunder Client:

As a full-stack developer, I swore to create a completely free REST API tool for personal use to manage my Postman collections. Starting October 2023, after dropping Thunder Client, I spent a year collaborating with my buddy @Anderson_Daniel 👉 Anderson_Daniel on Reddit to develop EchoAPI for VSCode.

Demo Presentation:

Compared to Thunder Client, EchoAPI offers:

• Offline usage support
• Lightweight
• User-Friendly Interface
• (Important!) Completely free for personal use 🔥
• (Important!) 100% Postman Syntax Compatibility 🔥

Installation Link: EchoAPI on VS Marketplace

Our Promise:

EchoAPI is, and always will be, free for individual use. We're not going to pull a 'Thunder Client' move, where everything suddenly becomes paid and makes the free version useless. You might be wondering, 'How do you keep the team funded?' We're upfront with our users: we only charge teams and enterprises because we believe that the costs of collaboration should be covered by the respective team or company. So if you're a personal developer, feel free to use EchoAPI without any worries!
