Yikes. That is terrible if true and a great way to kill your product.

Re: Insomnia REST client now requires an account
#62I just don't have the energy to find a new client and build up my collection again... How do I know that a random product won't sabotage my future use at some point in time? Do I really have to build everything myself to be safe?
Gotta just use curl
You can use Hurl [1] an open source CLI tool based on plain text and libcurl! (I'm one of the maintainer)

#63So we are once again in the - please give alternatives. No clouds, no syncs, no other bullsit ... Postman is dead, insomnia seemed like good alternative.

#64Try Bruno - https://github.com/usebruno/bruno - Free and Opensource IDE for exploring and testing APIs - It is lightweight with MIT license - Bruno stores your collections directly in a folder on your filesystem - Use git for collaboration - No cloud sync. Fully offline. PS: I am the creator of this project
Probably not a question you like to hear - but right now if I decide to jump from offline postman or insomnia - which will be the biggest pain points that I am to expect?
Edit: And good luck, I have looked quite a bit for project like that.

Oauth2 flow is missing (which should be released by tomorrow), Otherwise you shouldn't encounter any pain points. The app has been in development over 2 years, and community (early adopters) has been using it for over year. It's fairly stable except the occasional blip.
I built the tool for myself, I wanted my collections to co-exist alongside my backend code and be able to version it via git. So I ended up creating a human readable markup language to represent requests so that we can use git to version it.
I hope you like it :)

#66Had to laugh my ass off the first time I heard a Postman ad.
I was like, are you serious? An API testing tool being marketed to people for production purposes?
The moment they started cutting local state out of postman and pushing business customers to use their cloud offering, I was like, "Ah hah hah, nope".

A while ago I built https://github.com/mfinelli/cui because I wanted something like postman that ran in my terminal. It's a little rough around the edges but it does the job for me

Thanks! This looks great! I like the local first (or local only) approach of your tool. It's very refreshing in comparison to the bloated monsters like campfire or postman

#69If you are using vim, you could try this one https://github.com/aquach/vim-http-client. I have been using it for some time and it has worked well. Use in your local file system, integrates well with vim but I had to fork it since it didn't had a timeout setting.
Re: Insomnia REST client now requires an account
#70This sucks beyond belief. The whole reason I moved to Insomnia from Postman was because Postman uploaded all of our APIs and credentials to their server without asking. I have clients that demand privacy - we can't even discuss the existence of their APIs outside the company.
