Roadmap

Where Tinspec is going.

Tinspec is in active beta. Here's an honest split: what's in the app today, what's next, and what we're still exploring. Plans shift — the “today” list is the only promise.

Shipped — in the app today

Spec-driven endpoints

Bind to a live OpenAPI URL or file; endpoints resolve just-in-time and refresh with the spec.

Runnable .http editor

Monaco buffers with spec-aware completion for params, headers, and body fields.

Reference docs

Stripe-style per-endpoint reference with typed fields, response codes, and a cURL sample.

HTTP + gRPC

Import a .proto and call unary methods through the engine’s dynamic tonic codec, beside your HTTP requests.

Live (SSE) streaming

text/event-stream responses render as a growing event list with a Raw toggle.

Visual request chains

A canvas to wire requests, extract variables, branch, loop, and generate data — run all or test one node.

Auth automation

Script and integration providers (Keycloak, Clerk, Auth0, …) fetch, cache, and inject tokens automatically.

Spec insight

Endpoint graph, version diffing, and an auth map across the API.

Up next

CLI pipeline runner

Run saved chains headlessly in CI — the same engine, no app — so your request tests live next to the code.

AI assistance

Read a spec to explain an API, draft requests and tests, and drive the engine agentically. Bring-your-own-key, with a local path so nothing has to leave your machine.

Exploring

no commitment yet

More protocols

WebSocket and GraphQL behind the same protocol abstraction as HTTP and gRPC.

gRPC streaming

Client, server, and bidirectional streaming beyond today’s unary calls.

Cloud sync & teams

An optional paid tier: shared workspaces, sharing, and hosted auth integrations. The desktop app stays fully usable offline.

Shaping the roadmap

Missing something you'd reach for daily? Ideas and bug reports steer what ships next.
