Swell is a cross-platform compatible (Mac, Linux, & Windows) desktop application and the leading API dev tool for testing and visualizing steaming TCP connections (i.e., WebSockets, SSEs, GraphQL subscriptions). Swell functions similarly to Postman, but with the added perks of full streaming and GraphQL support. Being an Open Source project, Swell is 100% free and open to outside contributions.

Swell just released v0.6.0 and this release comes with new exciting features. Some of the ones we’ll be talking in this article about are:
- UI/UX overhaul
- Schema introspection
- Type hinting
- Schema linter
- gRPC bug fixes
