**What do you like best about Thunder Client?**

It comes as a vscode extension that developers can use to test their API during development. Its quick and easy to use within the IDE. There are other alternative tools with more features, but this one can still be used for quick testing of api.

**What do you dislike about Thunder Client?**

Its a small extension with not much features unlike other tools like postman that provides a lot of features and is a whole separate tool to install. But it is still ok for testing while developing in the same ide. They can add few new features like the one available in postman to the same extension.

**What problems is Thunder Client solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use thunder client while I am developing a product to quickly test the backend api response to make sure everything works fine.
