The Hoppscotch Manifesto
summary
hoppscotch presents itself as an open source API testing ecosystem and reports concrete traction: 45,000 stars on GitHub, 5000 teams using hoppscotch for teams, 40,000 collections and 200,000+ stored requests. Roadmap items: self‑hosted full stack instance targeted by year end (asterisked), a native app later, a hoppscotch CLI moving to 1.0 next month and a scripting API RFC. Development practices are strict GitHub flow reviews, active community channels and an example fix pushed in three hours on a Sunday.
