this looks really great! since insomnia started requiring an account I never really settled on anything else. the one thing that worries me is compatibility - I echo the voices asking for hurl support. it kinda sucks that each of these programs invents its own format. it would also be great to be able to run these requests as part of a CI pipeline, without opening the TUI. supporting a format like hurl would add this…

#43Everything looks great except for it being written in Python. I’ll work on developing something similar with Go.

#46Looks cool. Would be really nice if you could automatically generate the yaml files from an openapi.json file like the kind that are automatically generated by FastAPI.

#47Does it support OAuth2 authentication/ token acquisition? I’d love to not have to put my access token / secret key into Postman. Happy to be a tester.

#48Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm going to explore integration with other formats in the future. Right now there's experimental (incomplete) support for importing from OpenAPI v3. I'd like to add Postman and Insomnia collection importing too. Some kind of integration with Hurl could be very nice too, but would likely come further down the line.
Please, allow using flat file http messages. IntelliJ has a great build in http client that's using HTTP message files and otherwise has a similar feature set. But having to launch intellij every time is a real PITA.
For those who haven't used the Jetbrains HTTP client recently: maybe two or three years ago it was completely replaced and has been improved continuously since. Give it a try.

#49This is great, I could see myself using it daily. The only hindrance I've found so far is navigating large responses. Would be cool to have some way to collapse chunks of JSON (a la https://github.com/antonmedv/fx ), or even just more vim key navigation, like G/gg, %, {/}, and search.
I agree that could be improved! The extra Vim keys you suggested should be simple enough to add.
