I 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…

#184Earlier quoted context omitted.
Developer Tool Developers are hurting themselves. I think it is reasonable to not want to have to log in to every darn thing you use on the internet. Especially developer tools. Someone needs to invent a hat that developers have to wear: when the developer starts to write signup, login or authentication code, a hand pokes out of the hat and slaps him.
Default-on telemetry as well. I'm reminded of Balena Etcher phoning home with the names of ISO files you flash, which leaks the IPs etc. of which users are creating Tor/Tails bootable USBs: https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/16381#not...
If I buy a circular saw, I don’t want a relationship with Makita. I don’t want to have to log in to use it. I don’t want it telling Makita how many boards I cut and how well the saw is working. No offense, but I’m just not that into you, Manufacturer.

Our 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 wheneve…

#189Thank 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.
I know people don't love VS Code, but is there a reason Thunder Client isn't more popular? I know it's feature lacking compared to postman, but more so than curling?
