How I Created HTTP Prompt and Got 5000+ Stars on GitHub

Two months ago, I published an open source project, which went viral by gaining 1200+ stars in the first 24 hours. As of this writing, it has attracted 5000+ stars. The project is called HTTP Prompt:

Here I want to share its development story.

It all began with Vertica. Not long ago, I used Vertica every day for my work. Vertica is a powerful database, but the official client (vsql) is not powerful at all. The GUI alternative, DbVisualizer, is bad as well.
