Getting Started
After Installation, launch Roster from the application menu or run roster (Flatpak: flatpak run cz.bugsy.roster).
Sending a Request
- The app opens with a new request tab
- Set the URL (e.g.
https://api.github.com/users/octocat) and method (GET) - Optionally add headers in the Headers tab
- Press Ctrl+Return (or click Send)
- The response appears in the right panel — status, headers, body with syntax highlighting
Saving a Request
Click Save (or Ctrl+S), enter a name, and select a project. Unsaved changes show a dot (•) on the tab label.
History
Every sent request is automatically saved to history (bottom panel). Click any entry to open it in a new tab.
