John Harker Nick Palenchar Andrew Bastin James George Hossein Nedaee Let’s do a quick time-travel through our journey, 👀 gaze at our milestones, and wrap it up with a glance through the exciting things in the pipeline. The Beginnings 🌱 Aug 21, 2019 - 6.30 PM It's the 2nd week at my first ever job in the role of a full-stack dev. New job, new location, I was pretty excited 😄. I was assigned to do the API integration of an old project. That's when I came across Postman API testing tool. I installed it, but it crashed my PC when I opened it for the very first time. I use a low-end PC and can't possibly afford to run another Electron app. I was depressed 😞 7.30 PM After desperately trying few online cURL tools, I literally said 😡 "f*ck it!". So I started with an HTML page: one ` `, one ` ` and one ` ` tag. That's it. 11.30 PM MVP is done. Working, far better than any other online cURL tools. I was so happy 😊 because I could use this from tomorrow onward at workplace. Before shutting down, I pushed my small project to (as always). GitHub 🐙 Aug 22, 2019 - 4.00 AM I woke up from bed to find out 100+ notifications on my phone. It's all from GitHub. Stars, forks, and few issue tickets. I was super excited to get that much fame (~100 stars, >20 forks) on GitHub. I ran to my PC, wrote on my favorite platform - here on Hackernoon. Later I spend that day at workplace. an article Fast Forward to Oct 1 Project now have 2,000+ stars and 100+ forks. John Harker, Nick Palenchar, Andrew Bastin, Hossein Nedaee and izerozlu joined the team ⚽ We added more HTTP request methods, more customizations, WebSocket support, authentication, headers, parameters and history 🔥 Fast Forward to Nov 1 Many bugs were fixed, more features were added. Added Proxy, Collections, Pre-request scripts + env variables. At that time, We thought 5,000 stars was already incredible, but the support from the community has kept steadily growing at a faster pace 🚀 Nov 25 Launched . Postwoman v1.0 Fast Forward to Present Postwoman just crossed 12K GitHub stars, with a total of 41 contributors, and over 860 commits. What’s next? We are preparing a new release of Postwoman for version v2.0, which will come with enhanced performance as well as a myriad of features and issue fixes contributed by the PW team but also many of our contributors. Thanks to our contributors we are able not only to find defects on our projects but also to fix them faster and provide a direction to the whole project. A good example of this is our commitment to building support for the GraphQL playground. The community was an essential factor that led GraphQL to make it to the top of our roadmap.
