Beyond Chrome Apps - ARC as a native app

Hi developers,

For some time now I am working on completely new version of the ARC. Don't worry, it will be the same good and simple tool for testing API calls. However a lot will change in the background. It will allow me to move the app to new platforms other than Chrome ecosystem.

According to app's roadmap ARC will be re-modulated and each part of the app (as a web component) publicly available on GitHub. It helps both the app to transform into new set of tools available everywhere and openness so everyone can use this web components in their projects. This is my contribution to the development of the open web and I deeply believe that this will help in overall web development.

Prototype testing - invitation to the usability research

I'm happy to announce that we are ready to conduct a user research on a prototype of new Advanced REST Client.

List of changes is very long. Starting from general UI redesign to change in basic functionality.
The most important changes are:

• new projects will support RAML (RESTful API Modeling Language) standard. Users will be able to import RAML file and use it as a "project". RAML contains API definition with the documentation that will be displayed alongside with the RAML request (new view in the app) and in project documentation page

Help us improve the app! - ARC prototype remote user testing

We are looking for people to participate in a usability test. We want to conduct research before actually starting and introducing changes to the app.

To qualify simply fill in the short form below. If you are selected, you will be contacted by a member of our team.

Tests will be finished in up to two weeks so there's no time to think about it. If you have 15 minutes just join the research.

polymd - A module to create a Polymer component from the template

While working a lot with web components I needed a script that I can use to create a Polymer web component from a template and also creates all other stuff I use during development. So I wrote a Node module to automate some work for me.
