Swagra
Featured ProjectClient-Only OpenAPI Workspace
Swagra is a modern, client-only OpenAPI workspace — a friendlier Swagger UI alternative and API client in one. Import an openapi.json, browse endpoints and schemas, run live requests, compare specs, and generate mock data. No backend — everything runs in the browser.
Project Overview
Swagra is a client-only OpenAPI workspace that ships three ways from a single Vite build — a web app, a Chrome extension, and a VSCode extension — switched by a BUILD_TARGET env var. Import a spec via drag-drop, URL, or paste, and your specs, environments, auth, collections, and history are parsed in-browser and persisted to local storage. Nothing is sent to any developer-owned server.
Problem
Swagger UI is read-only and dated, and full API clients are heavyweight. Developers juggle separate tools to browse specs, run requests, diff versions, and mock data.
Solution
One modern workspace that explores, tests, compares, and mocks OpenAPI specs — fully client-side, with the same codebase delivered as a web app, Chrome extension, and VSCode extension.
Impact
A zero-backend, privacy-first tool: no server to run, no data leaves the browser. Works offline and installs directly into the browser or editor.

Key Highlights
Three Targets, One Build
Web app, Chrome extension, and VSCode extension from a single Vite build via BUILD_TARGET.
100% Client-Side
No backend. Specs, auth, environments, and history persist to local storage only.
Cross-Target Transport Seam
Every request routes through getTransport() so CORS just works on web, Chrome, and VSCode.
Postman-Style Environments
{{var}} substitution, collections/folders, and auto token refresh.
Architecture
Single React 19 + Vite app. A transport seam abstracts outbound requests per target; a zustand store is the single source of truth, persisted to localStorage.
