Hi, this is Sebastian from Step CI

Thanks for sharing Venom!

Certainly, there are lots of tools in the space, both SaaS and open-source. Mish and I can name you a few!

However, there’s one thing these tools seem to be missing - a greater goal.

Our vision is to give you a tool that will free you from writing and maintaining API tests ever again - in any shape or form. What you currently see from us is the first step!

> Venom is a CLI (Command Line Interface) that aim to create, manage and run your integration tests with efficiency.

The linked repo seems to have a greater goal.

I'm torn, half of me wants to support them for the hustle but I can't shake the strong "accidentally swallowed the same BS we fed the VCs" vibes.

But also in the same vein nothing really is that unique, if they can make some coins this way: who are we to judge?

Why use venom? Why not just pytest ?
