Mela vs xh

Mela is an iPhone app for B2B consumer electronics resellers who capture leads at trade shows and follow up afterward. It reads both sides of business cards, decodes QR codes, and turns the details into an editable contact form. Contacts can be grouped by event, searched or filtered by consumer electronics categories, and kept in one history across shows. Mela transcribes voice notes and suggests hashtags. It drafts personalized WhatsApp and email follow-ups for the user to review and send; it does not send messages automatically. Other listed features include QR card exchange between Mela users, inventory matching, lead temperature tracking, and contact deduplication. The free plan is free, with core features within unspecified limits. Mela Individual costs $9.99 a month; team plans range from $24.99 a month for 2 seats to $44.99 a month for 6 seats. The app requires iOS 15.1 or later. Users must be at least 16 and use it for business purposes. Captured content belongs to the user and is not used to train AI models, though service providers may process it when a feature is invoked.

xh is a free command-line tool for sending HTTP requests, with a focus on improved performance. It uses HTTPie's request-item syntax for setting headers, request bodies, and query strings. It supports JSON and form data, multipart requests, raw data, and request bodies read from standard input or a file. Responses can be pretty-printed, limited to headers or body output, and saved or downloaded to a file. Authentication options include basic, bearer, and digest. The README lists HTTP/2 support, while the current Cargo manifest has an optional HTTP/3 feature. The --curl flag translates a request into a curl command. Security options include TLS version selection, certificate verification settings, and client-side certificates. Prebuilt binaries are provided for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with package-manager installation instructions for those systems and Android. xh is distributed under the MIT License and has a free plan priced at free. It can use HTTPie compatibility mode when invoked as http or https, or when XH_HTTPIE_COMPAT_MODE is set. The README notes that some HTTPie features are not implemented, there is no plugin system, and its documentation is worse than HTTPie's.
