About

Windmill is an open-source developer platform founded in 2022 that enables engineering teams to turn scripts written in Python, TypeScript, Go, Bash, or SQL into fully operational internal tools, scheduled jobs, and event-driven workflows without building surrounding infrastructure from scratch. Each script automatically gets a UI form, an API endpoint, a job queue, logging, secrets management, and scheduling — the boilerplate that typically takes weeks to implement is generated automatically, so developers focus exclusively on business logic. Windmill can be self-hosted on any infrastructure or used via its managed cloud service.

About

Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
