Jetbrains has a pretty cool HTTP/REST client: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/http-client-cli.html The 'UI' (which is really an editor/syntax highlighting for the .http files) version I believe is a paid feature on the IDEs, but the CLI one I believe you don't need to pay to use it.

Even worse, before you could use it without an account. Now it locks you out of your data after the update. You need to create an account to get back your data.
Here is a video that shows how to get access to your data without an account. https://www.loom.com/share/de7af6f9e06b4452a799a033604f9270?...

#113- Market yourself up as a Postman alternative - Work for some time - Do the same shit as Postman - ... - Profit? Really? I don’t know even. Why does it have to be the same story all the time? It’s become so tiring.
Because recurring revenue vs no revenue or one time revenue is hard to pass up as a business. I do think cloud based sharing/features do have their place in a tool like this however.
I also think these features have a place. I'm quite sad that Kong completely destroyed all trust our company had in them.

My company would happily pay for licenses. Not after this shit was pulled, though. They even went so far to remove the Kong enterprise api management products from our internal order system. It's not so great to work with a company that pulls the rug underneath you without warning. I also think these features have a place. I'm quite sad that Kong completely destroyed all trust our company had in them.

#115So. Much. Noise. An update on Insomnia 8.x here: * Insomnia can be used locally-only with Scratch Pad. * Insomnia can be used with an account without sharing any data using Git Sync (the data is in your Git repository, wherever that is hosted). * Insomnia can be used with an account and without Git Sync in a fully end-to-end encrypted way (E2EE). Nobody can read your data. * Insomnia stores your account information i…

Sorry to deluge you, I found another UI bug. if you rename a collection with existing requests in it, the result will be two collections, 1 with the new name and 1 with the old name. The new name will have all the requests as expected. The old name will be a "ghost" collection, you can't seem to do anything with it, including rename it again. If you close bruno and re-open, the old named collection will be gone.
I see. If you don't mind, can you post an issue here on our github tracker - https://github.com/usebruno/bruno and any screenshots of the issue > if you rename a collection with existing requests in it I am assuming you are renaming directly using the filesystem. I think this is the is issue you are talking about - https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/issues/28

#117Try 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
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
starts as offline
vc funding
enables cloud sync for collaboration with teams
deprecates offline as scratchpad
deletes scratchpad
Its been like this for a decade now.
With Bruno the key insight was to store collections and requests as folders and files, and design a markup language that makes it easy to collaborate with your team. I wrote about this here: https://www.usebruno.com/blog/the-saas-dilemma

“So. Much. Noise.“ This comes across as very dismissive of your user’s concerns. Maybe worth giving your ego a break for a few hours and embracing empathy for your users.
Reality is that Insomnia offers plenty of ways to still run locally, but now it does it in a sustainable way that allows us to improve the product even more.
I forgot to add that users can also create "Private Environments" which are always local and never synchronized with Insomnia Sync (in the cloud) or Git Sync.
