Interesting tools

Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.

Requestly

API client + interceptor.

What we like

Issue requests to APIs with support for environments, variables, and API collections. Intercept requests and replace, modify, redirect. Create API mocks. Local first or set up collaboration over Git or cloud drives. Import from common alternatives e.g. Postman.

What we don't like

Desktop app built in Electron.

Prisma 7

TypeScript ORM.

What we like

Faster performance with a smaller ESM-first bundle. Drop in update from previous version. Generated client no longer buried in node_modules. Now supports mapped enums. New Prisma Studio UI visualizes database inspection.

What we don't like

Using an ORM is probably a mistake for all but the smallest side project.
