API Tester: save and reuse requests between sessions
The API tester is great for quick one-off requests, but I constantly re-type the same endpoints and headers. Would love a "save request" feature that persists a request (URL, method, headers, body) with a name so you can pull it up again later.
Even just remembering the last 10 requests like browser history would be a huge improvement. Full named collections like Postman would obviously be ideal, but I understand that's a bigger lift.
This one feature would make Zetbit a genuine alternative to standalone API tools for lightweight use cases.

This is probably my #1 feature request too. I use the API tester constantly for quick checks but always have to dig up the endpoint URL from Slack or my notes. Even just autofilling the last used URL on open would help.
Even just persisting the last URL, method, and headers after the popup closes would solve most of the pain. Currently it resets completely every session which makes it almost unusable for anything involving authentication headers.
Seconding "history at minimum" as the pragmatic MVP. Don't need full Postman, just session persistence would solve 80% of the friction. Could ship fast and make a big difference.
chrome.storage.local would be the right approach — it persists across popup open/close without needing a backend. Could probably ship last-session state restore in a single PR honestly.
Named saved collections would be the killer feature that makes this a Postman replacement for lightweight use. Would genuinely switch over from Postman for anything that doesn't need environments or scripting.
