Curlify

NOTE for me: I think TUI for api testing is not good solution. I thought I would use it heavily but I just went to curl for quick testing anyway. I have better plan for this, the one that I would use. I will try to build that when I have time.

Curlify is a terminal-based API testing tool, designed to make it easier to test APIs with a clear and efficient terminal interface. It supports multiple panes for real-time input, HTTP methods, query/body parameters, and output display.

Note: Curlify is currently in beta and under active development. We are looking for open-source contributions to make it even better!
