I built a native GTK4 HTTP client for API testing: Roster
Hey r/gnome!
Every time I needed to test an API, I'd reach for Postman or Insomnia, and every time it felt completely out of place on a GNOME desktop. So a few months ago I decided to build something that actually belongs here.
Roster is a native HTTP client built with GTK4. It does the basics well: send requests, set headers, inspect responses, browse request history. No Electron, no telemetry, no account required.
I published it on Flathub recently and it's been quietly picking up installs, which motivated me to keep going.
