Show HN: API Dash – An Open Source API Client Built Using Flutter

Hi folks, I have been building API Dash, an open source alternative to Postman, for less than a year and I am super excited (& nervous) to share it with the HN community. Currently it has the following features: - Collections & Folders to manage API requests - Interactive JSON response previewer - Multimedia response previewers (40+ mimetypes supported) - Dark mode support - Client code generation (cURL, Dart, Python, JS, Kotlin, HAR) It is the first API client that has been built using Dart & Flutter and I would love to hear your feedback. Thanks!
