Postman froze my friend's macbook. MacOS skill issue to be honest\n2. There are many beautiful and very funciton Electron-base solutions that take up +250MB of my storage\n3. I don't have friends and ...\n4. I needed something to do for the weekend.\n\n## Project setup\n\nFollow the [Get started](https://rust-lang.org/learn/get-started/) guide to get rust setup.\n\n#### Linux\n\n(I haven't yet confirmed these instructions)\n\n```bash\n# RHEL/Fedora\nsudo dnf install gtk4-devel libadwaita-devel meson desktop-file-utils pkgconf-devel\n\n# Arch\nsudo pacman -S gtk4 libadwaita meson desktop-file-utils pkg-config\n```\n\n#### MacOS\n\nOn macos you will need to run this verbatim\n\n```sh\nbrew install gtk4 libadwaita meson desktop-file-utils gtksourceview5\n```\n\n## Running the project\n\n```rs\ncargo run # obviously\n```\n\n## Progress so far\n\nI cannot stress this enough, I've been tempted to quit and opt for a different solution such as [gtkx](https://gtkx.dev/) or [flutter](https://flutter.dev).\nRust + GTK is a tall order. That said, we have the following working:\n\n#### Request manipulation\n\n- [x] Custom url\n- [x] Custom request methods\n- [x] Custom headers (not the best experience but we're getting somewhere)\n- [x] Custom JSON body\n- [ ] Query params tracking\n- [ ] File requests\n- [ ] Custom request body\n  - [ ] Change type\n  - [ ] Update formatting\n\n#### Data exporting\n\n- [ ] Import request\n  - [x] Paste `cURL`\n  - [x] `.http` file\n  - [ ] `.rest` file\n- [ ] Export request\n  - [ ] `cURL` string\n  - [ ] Save as `.http` file\n  - [ ] Save as `.rest` file\n\n#### Response presentation\n\n- [ ] Custom repsonse type\n- [ ] Trigger formatting\n\n#### Quality of life features\n\n- [ ] Global keyboard shortcuts\n- [ ] Open workspaces\n- [ ] Environment variable support\n- [ ] Multiple windows\n- [ ] Multiple tabs\n- [ ] Home Screen based on history\n\n\u003cimg width=\"1837\" height=\"1151\" alt=\"Screenshot From 2026-05-17 23-50-08-min\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/97539551-2d31-40b1-95d4-b9f0a9b5ebb2\" /\u003e\n\nThe goal here is to get somewhere between [HTTPie](https://httpie.io/) and [Cartero](https://cartero.danirod.es/)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fthemosthigh%2Fhermes","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fthemosthigh%2Fhermes","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fthemosthigh%2Fhermes/lists"}
