Feature Requests: URL, Response bar, Side bar

Open AbhayVAshokan opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

The following are few features that I feel would be great if included in postcode:

  • [x] Automatically append http:// to the beginning of the URL if not already exists: I often type localhost:3000 on the first try and then append http:// to the beginning on figuring out that something is wrong. Postman by default does this and gives a better user experience. I suppose this is the issue addressed in #31.
  • [ ] Height adjustable Response-bar: Opening a terminal below the response bar makes it too small. It would be great if the height is adjustable by dragging it.
  • [ ] Ability to see previous requests: This might seem a little far-fetched, but listing the previous requests in the currently empty sidebar would be great.

PS: I have been using postcode for a while and I think that it has the potential to be the goto extension for all API testing. I feel just a few things are missing that are needed for a better user experience.

Great, I would love to contribute to the repo. I shall work on height-adjustable response-bar if that is okay.
