Building API Meter ā a visual alternative to Postman for API workflows
Hey Indie Hackers š
Iām building API Meter, a developer-first API testing and orchestration platform.
After spending years using tools like Postman, I kept running into the same issues:
Chaining requests requires scripts
Variables are hard to track across flows
What Iām building instead:
Visual, node-based API workflows (no scripts for basic logic)
Smart variable scoping with autocomplete across requests
A faster, lighter tool focused on real-world API flows
Iām currently preparing for a private beta and would love feedback from folks who live in API land.
If this resonates, happy to share early access š
