I make requests with it, have things organized in collections, and use a variable for JWT handling but that’s as fancy as I’ve gotten and I know these tools have a lot more depth than I’m using.

#163I am using bruno on all my REST projects and the entire team is more than happy. We have bruno file for most endpoints demonstrating basic usage and as soon as something is problematic, someone creates bruno file in the repo and link to it so others can interactively discover what the problem is about.

#166I 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…

#167I am currently looking for a solution to run automated tests on a sql website generator I am working on ( https://sql.ophir.dev ) I wanted to use hurl ( https://hurl.dev/ ), but Bruno's UI seems to be useful while developing the tests...

#169Meanwhile, I often dev on iPad Pro with keyboard and trackpad, and instead of Postman, Insomnia, etc., I've enjoyed HTTPBot:
- HTTPBot for iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/httpbot/id1232603544
- HTTPBot for MacOS: https://www.httpbot.io/
HTTPBot even supports postman collections and environments including sync with postman, along with GraphQL, Websockets, and response metrics.

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
