An API request building side project? Postwoman.io sounds like a winner to the Tyk team!

Postwoman.io, now known as Hoppscotch, is an innovative API request builder that simplifies the process of creating API requests directly from a web browser, offering support for REST APIs, WebSockets, Socket.io endpoints, MQTT Broker, and GraphQL endpoints. Developed by Liyas Thomas, a 23-year-old from India, the project emerged from his need for a lightweight API testing tool after encountering limitations with existing solutions on his low-end PC. Despite challenges such as coordinating across time zones and financial constraints, the project has gained traction through open-source community support and is benefiting from the Tyk Side Project Fund, which provides financial assistance for essential services like website datastore and hosting. Driven by values of self-development and career growth, Liyas emphasizes the importance of side projects in the tech industry for personal development and professional advancement.
