Do you have a plan to maintain it long-term or is it just a fork in sake of a fork?

Other than that, for UI/manual testing I'd recommend Restfox or Bruno and ezy for gRPC. Hurl and Step CI for automated testing

Restfox: https://github.com/flawiddsouza/Restfox

Bruno: https://github.com/usebruno/bruno

ezy: https://github.com/getezy/ezy

Step CI: https://github.com/stepci/stepci

Marco should get a job with Unity or Bud Light. I highly recommend the HTTP client in the JetBrains IDEs. It’s come a long way fast, is under very active development, and a breath of fresh air. Even though it’s a feature it beats the standalone products IMHO.

didn't even know that existed. Thanks, I'll check it out!!!

What is it with generic HTTP clients and their data/account hunger? And why has no fully selfhosted team collaboration tool stood up?

Id say marketing. What this episode has shown me, is that there are actually loads such clients. Many of them look kind of similar (in a good way), and provide much of the same functionality.

My feature request: a way to generate curl commands, fetch, etc. Browsers can do it, why not a dedicated client for making http calls?

Insomnia already does this, at least did as of version 2022.6.0. Right click on the name of the request in the sidebar to find "copy as curl" and "generate code", Ctrl+Shift+G also brings up the Generate Code interface. I'll check if the more up to date version that insomnium is based on has the same feature once I get it built.

Finally got a build, at least on my machine the features are still there except you can't right click on the list items any more, you have to click the little ▼ next to the item.

There’s a database client lurking in there too. I nearly always forget it.
