    Paw founder here. I'm very sorry to hear this. If you don't mind, I'd love to know more details on what's happening. The logs available in Paw menu > "Get Debug Info…" are very hel…

    Yep, I've got exactly the same yesterday until Uber asked me to grant "Always" location tracking. Not only I dislike the forceful location grant but they had a bug that didn't prom…

    AppKit + Foundation is always NS, UIKit always UI. But who cares now that we have Swift ;)

    Xcode 8.1 does that (visible in the TouchBar simulator). They add a global key to control the debugger (Pause/Resume program execution, toggle breakpoints…) while you're in your ap…

    I guess it's a matter of choice, but we see Paw as a visual tool that makes it easy to setup a request (or a set of requests) to iterate quickly when developing an API or discoveri…

    If you're trying to import Postman collections into Paw, that's easy https://paw.cloud/docs/migrate/postman (all requests, grouping, environment variables, etc. will be preserved).…

    I cannot agree more on this :) The first time I saw Insomnia last year, I found it already very well designed. It had a smooth UX on most basic actions and, I have to say, a fun us…

    All fixed! It was a nasty bug, and a terrible UX. A one-liner to fix, but hard to find :) Sorry about that! And thank you to bring that to us, aavotins! Bugfix version Paw 3.0.5 ha…

    I'm with you on this, the wide use of the word "API" to designate Web/HTTP APIs is wrong. But we have to admit that if you talk with someone saying "we're build an API that does X"…

    While we ask to create an account at purchase time, it's never needed for trials. Also, to work with Paw for Teams and share projects, an account is required as it obviously needs …

    Thanks for the nice feedback, and sorry for the trial window inconvenience. That's clearly a bug, we don't want to buzz users in any way except at app start time in the welcome win…

    Thanks for the feedback, John! As you're referring to dynamic values as integer values in JSON requests, it's clearly something we will fix. It was planned for Paw 3, but we had to…

    As ing33k mentioned, Paw isn't an automated testing tool (at least not yet), but rather an app where you can experiment with your or others APIs to check if things are working, and…

    Comment #12192047

    As the founder of Paw, I'm certainly biased, so I'll stick to the facts. Paw has "dynamic values" which lets you inline computed components in any field of your request: useful for…

    We have actually two ideas in this area. First, as you mentioned, assertion testing. We've recently published a workaround (as a joke, but it's actually working :D) https://blog.pa…

    That's very true :) You can write custom extensions for Paw, and they can be then shared with the community. But anyway, there's already a HAR importer, you can install it here as …

    Well, Apple purposely killed Apple Events making them impossible to be sent from sandboxed apps. While I'm not a fan of JavaScript as a language, it has the advantage to be commonl…
