"textContent": "Hey everyone,\n\nLately I’ve been spending more time building small AI apps and testing different inference endpoints from Hugging Face, and it made me rethink my API workflow a bit.\n\nI originally used Bruno because it’s lightweight, local-first, and easy to keep in Git. A lot of developers still seem to like it for that exact reason.\n\nBut once I started juggling:\n\n * multiple model endpoints\n\n * auth tokens\n\n * mock APIs\n\n * shared collections\n\n * generated docs\n\n\n\n\nit became harder to manage everything cleanly across projects.\n\nRecently I tested Apidog and what I found useful was having API testing, docs, mocking, and OpenAPI management together instead of stitching multiple tools together manually. There are already a few discussions around combining AI tooling with API workflows too.\n\nNot trying to start a “best tool” debate honestly — just curious what people here are using nowadays for AI/API-heavy projects:\n\n * Bruno\n\n * Apidog\n\n * Postman\n\n * Hoppscotch\n\n * Insomnia\n\n * custom scripts\n\n\n\n\nEspecially interested in workflows that work well with rapid experimentation around model APIs.",
