frequest is a fast, lightweight and opensource windows / macos desktop program to make http(s) requests (e.g. call rest apis).
frequest aims to provide a similar interface to an integrated development environment program (ide) but for http(s) apis. it should be fast, cross platform, lightweight, practical with a native look. also it is important that project files can be easily shared and work seamless with version control system (vcs) for collaborative work.
