The irony that I switched to Insomnia after Postman started demanding a login... and now I've been actively looking for alternatives (Bruno being on the list) now that Insomnia has done the same thing.
Have you tried hurl ?

#152I really like the idea of serializing requests to a Git-friendly text format. But if we want a Git-friendly text format, why not mimic HTTP/1.1 request syntax as much as possible? Maybe with Jekyll-like YAML front matter for metadata that doesn’t fit? So for Get Users.bru instead of the current example of: meta { name: Get Users type: http seq: 1 } get { url: https://reqres.in/api/users body: none } headers { Content…

Well based on historical experience with Postman and Insomnia most probably Bruno will go the same way once they get enough users hooked in. Especially once a VC gets into the fold.
Hey there, this is Anoop - creator of Bruno. Happy to see Bruno at the top of HN We will never take VC funding. We received around 10 inbound reach outs from VCs till date and have denied funding from all of them. We will remain independent and I have written about it in detail here https://www.usebruno.com/blog/bootstrapping

#156Damn, I wasn't sure if I cared about another postman/insomnia like tool, but I saw the cute dog logo, and it sold the tool to me. Maybe I am just silly, but that got me. Congrats to the team for developing it!
There appears to be an actual dog as well: https://www.usebruno.com/about

#157Our OpenAPI spec has something like this:
servers:
- url: https://{host}/api/v2
variables:
host:
default: someserver.example
Insomnia and Postman import the collection with the host as a variable, centrally editable, while Bruno imported it resolved with no variable, so I have to edit every one of my endpoints whenever I change the host, which happens often in our setup.Re: Bruno: Fast and Git-friendly open-source API client (Postman alternative)

#160Thank you. As soon as Postman asked for a login I uninstalled it and have been curling from text files ever since. My younger coworkers won't drop Postman though. Maybe this will help them switch.
