## Project history and usage

Slumber is a terminal HTTP/REST client with both TUI and CLI workflows. It is source-first: request collections are YAML files meant to be edited, shared, and committed with code.

### Project history

The repository was created in August 2023. The official changelog identifies 0.3.1 in October 2023 as the initial distributed release, followed by 1.0.0 in April 2024 and later major releases that continued expanding the TUI, CLI, collections, and persistence features.

### Adoption history

The README links installation and documentation, shows a crates.io badge, and documents Homebrew as an install path. The supplied package metadata lists Homebrew, Nix, and pacman package names, placing Slumber in the newer Rust CLI tooling ecosystem.

### How it is used

Users define request collections such as `slumber.yml`, run the TUI with `slumber`, or use CLI subcommands for scripted HTTP requests. The docs emphasize sharable collections, profiles, templates, imports from external formats, and local persistence.

### Why package nerds care

Slumber appeals to package and CLI enthusiasts because it treats API-client state as text files rather than as opaque app data. That makes it friendlier to Git, dotfiles, reproducible environments, and terminal-first workflows.

### Timeline

- 2023: GitHub repository created.
- 2023: 0.3.1 marked as the initial distributed release.
- 2024: 1.0.0 released.

- 2026: 5.0.0 released.

### Related projects

- Slumber is adjacent to Postman, Insomnia, curl/httpie-style CLI clients, Rust TUI applications, and YAML-based API collection formats.
