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.

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.
When I went looking for alternatives to Insomnia I was pleasantly surprised to see that RecipeUI[1] will let paste in curl commands with various flags etc. and parse those to generate new entries, pretty slick. 1: https://github.com/RecipeUI/RecipeUI
Also glad to hear any other feedback you have :)
Hey everyone.. wish we were here discussing something more positive. however... I happen to know that the Kong CTO is extremely obsessed with GitHub stars and vanity metrics so he can impress investors (e.g. check out his twitter to see him bragging about star counts). The best thing you can do to get Kong's attention on how horribly they have handled this situation is... unstar https://github.com/kong/insomnia ...an…
You can see the CTO arguing with people in that thread about it.

It’s VC-funded…
Recently switched to it after going through most of the alternatives, because it has a clean UX, works on every OS without install, and has all of the features I need.
Here is the main Github issue with a lot of context: https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/issues/6577 It was later turned into a discussion here: https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/discussions/6590 However, the discussion was closed so newer issues have been created.
I saw they mentioned Git Sync as alternative. Do they do something to prevent that from working locally? Git itself does not need any remotes to be configured or you could set the remote to be another local git repository.
What is it with generic HTTP clients and their data/account hunger? And why has no fully selfhosted team collaboration tool stood up?
I’m also a bit baffled. What’s so hard about curl with a UI? Why are there multiple entire companies in this space? I mean, competition is great and all, but these two at least look in a race to the bottom.

I think their model is acceptable and sustainable. It's MIT licensed, and they make money on the self-hosted enterprise edition that gives you SSO, permissions, audits, etc. Recently switched to it after going through most of the alternatives, because it has a clean UX, works on every OS without install, and has all of the features I need.

I still think Kong did a good job in crafting the product. I started using Insomnia in my previous company 3 years ago and our team loved it.
What happened recently felt a little bit like the Unity fiasco (of course, in a much much smaller scale). Though as a user I would say Kong had taken a bad turn, as a dev I'm still grateful to them for open-sourcing such a fantastic product.
One of the reasons I forked Insomnia was because it uses React & Electron, both of which I'm quite familiar with. And I think many parts of Insomnia are quite nicely written overall (but unfortunately things like nedb that was used is no longer maintained https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb so it's probably wise to swap out at some point)
Thanks for this. Luckily I found out insomnia was (fully) enshittified through hacker news and not the forced update. I'll backup my files and move over to this fork soon.
