Veetesh Jain (ID: 000000a9efd87d56) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/02/2020 Mimic saved countless dev hours of me and my team. some of feature that like loved 1. import/export mock, helped my team to preview during code reviews. 2. logs tab helped me to quickly mock (just set the content-type header currently and it will work then) looking forward for 1. swagger 2 or openAPI 3 support. 2. import/export using HAR file which is an standard way to share request/response logs.
