Show HN: Niquests – A Requests fork, three years of catching Python's HTTP up

Three years is a serious commitment for a fork. The drop-in compatibility story is what makes this viable — the biggest adoption barrier for any requests replacement is the migration cost across existing codebases. Curious how you're handling the cases where people rely on requests internals directly — things like custom HTTPAdapter subclasses or session-level hooks. Those are usually where drop-in replacements start breaking in the real world.

We've extensively worked the compat layer. And every adapters out there should work as is. But most of time, we've exposed better way to achieve that (e.g. mTLS in memory, network fine tuning, peer cert retrieval, ...) can be done without extra customization.
