By the way, the web-sites of users who contribute their Postman API collections will be visible on the API collection page and will get significant traction :)
Great

Re: Show HN: Library of API collections for Postman
#12Postman is a monster. It's a pain to use. Classic example of feature overload. Also, they don't have an automatic release channel on Linux. It keeps bugging you to update to latest release and then sends you to page to download a tarball which you have to extract and replace existing install with. Just provide a snap package already.
I was using Insomnia quite happily until it became really resource hungry and CPU started to spike because of it. May be I should give it another try.

On second thought, the features are probably not overloaded but the UI is very cluttered which makes it appear so.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, we'll forward it to Postman. Did you use Paw? What is your experience with it? https://paw.cloud/

Does Insomnia offer a function of sharing the collections of APIs to collaborate, coming back to the OP? :)
Re: Show HN: Library of API collections for Postman
#17Good collection, as well as links to the documentation available for each API.
Side note: Why all the bash and hate for Postman here? Why not write an article and express your concern(s) there and submit it here in HN. Or better yet, connect with the team[1] at Postman and throw your ideas on making it better.

Re: Show HN: Library of API collections for Postman
#19I'd love something similar for Paw or Insomnia. Not really enjoying postman like I used to.
Thanks for the feedback, we'll consider building something separate for those tools. Are there many users for them?
Not sure about Paw, but insomnia is quite transparent. Seems to have over 30k weekly active users: https://insomnia.rest/transparency/

AFAIK, Paw is macOS exclusive so I've not tried it.
