Looks useful. I really dislike the "Download Postman and then you will have documentation" approach. Documentation lives on the web, and there are better alternatives to Postman anyway.

I’m curious: what are your top alternatives to Postman?

Insomnia [1] is a good one, it has all the necessary features to navigate REST APIs without the cloud clutter that comes with Postman.

I prefer this as well.
Rather not go down the road of having examples for every major platform.

Thanks for the feedback, I agree that the Postman approach may not be the best solution. I'll look into another way to display API docs!
