Could you build this?
Partial A client UI for API testing can be vibe-coded, but supporting diverse binary and streaming protocols (gRPC protobufs, Kafka distributed brokers, WebSocket, SSE) along with high-throughput load testing and mocking engines requires deep protocol engineering.
What it would actually take: A true competitor to Postman/Bruno requires a native or Go/Rust backend engine capable of dynamic Protobuf reflection for gRPC, native librdkafka/Kafka wire protocol bindings, SSL/TLS handshake configurations, and an efficient event loop for multi-protocol load testing. The CLI and desktop execution layers must share a robust execution runtime that handles streaming socket multiplexing and sandboxed scripting environments.
