Linkarzu Podcast | Neovim, macOS, Emacs, Linux, Terminals and more. This Postman Alternative Runs INSIDE Neovim (ft. Kulala Maintainers)
In this video we go over Kulala, which is a Postman alternative, but in your terminal, even better yet, within Neovim. I talk to Marco (Gorilla Moe) and Yaro and they guide us through a demo and explain how it works, also solve questions
Kulala is a minimal REST-Client Interface and set of tools for working with RESTful APIs. It also supports GraphQL
