What Hacker News says

Since true native (UI/UX) is core to our focus to do an window/linux we would need to do that same, currently most of our code is still in obj-c (new code is in swift) but it would be a massive task to produce a native window and a native linux app. however we do have extensive support for exporters to many formats through our open source lib (API-Flow) https://github.com/luckymarmot/API-Flow this converts between (paw, swagger, api-blueprint, postman etc) we realy dont want you to feel locked in with your data.
In Going native
That's very true :) You can write custom extensions for Paw, and they can be then shared with the community. But anyway, there's already a HAR importer, you can install it here as an extension https://paw.cloud/extensions/HARImporter Also, we're working on a powerful API format transformer that we will release more officially soon, but it's already on GitHub: https://github.com/luckymarmot/api-flow That will allow us to release exporters for Swagger, RAML, HAR soon as well as formats of other clients like Postman and DHC Client. If you're curious about writing an exporter/generator though here are some steps: https://paw.cloud/docs/extensions/create-code-generator (Disclaimer, Paw guy here…)
