I got tired of constant tool switching, so I built PostPilot.
An all-in-one local devtool with:
• API client
• DB client
• Data inspector
Built for workflows where you keep jumping between tools, copying IDs, and losing focus.

- Replying to @trikcode8 hours at work - helping customers build things and solving familiar problems every day. 15 minutes learning on Udemy. 1 hour at home working on my own app. All of this makes me more confident every day. We build confidence by doing, not just theorizing, right?
