npn helps you build stuff

npn

npn helps you explore and test HTTP services, with a focus on speed and correctness.

It's basically Postman, but much smaller (8MB download) and faster. You can run npn as an HTTP server, or use a native desktop or mobile app.

Installing

• Download from GitHub Releases, or see the downloads page

Building

• Run bin/bootstrap.sh to install required Go utilities
• Run make build to produce a binary in ./build, or run bin/dev.sh to recompile and restart automatically

For full stack development, you'll need some tools installed:

• For TypeScript changes, use bin/build-client.sh; you'll need tsc and closure-compiler installed
• For SCSS changes, use bin/build-css.sh; you'll need sass installed
• For a developer environment, run bin/workspace.sh, which will watch all files and hot-reload (iTerm2 required)

For macOS, you can install all dependencies with brew install md5sha1sum sass/sass/sass
