It would be helpful for prospective adopters to see a direct comparison of features (or main stand-out differences) between restish and alternative tools like curl and httpie.

For example, a comparison table like the ones shown by delta or zola, or even a hello world comparison like what's done in the Chain.jl README, would be very helpful to encourage people to explore this tool further.

Please have a look at https://rest.sh/#/comparison and let me know if there is anything else I should add! Thanks for the idea 👍

Oh wow, that is amazing! Awesome (and impressively fast) work! 👏

I will just mention that I just recently learned about https://github.com/rs/curlie and https://github.com/ducaale/xh (from https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix, which should definitely mention restish too! — see ibraheemdev/modern-unix#96); perhaps they could eventually be included as well. Not sure if it's worth it, though, since curl and httpie are the most well-known tools in this space. In any case, the current documentation is already way more comprehensive than I expected, and definitely sufficient for the purpose of this issue! Thank you :)

Oh, by the way, I think it would be a good idea to link to the comparison table from the "Why use this?" section of the main page, just to make it extra discoverable :)
