maybe it doesn't do everything postman does, but I'm very happy using the rest client extension in vs code, the http files with the api calls are commited to the source code repository along with the code is easy to use, does what i need, and is easy to share with my colleagues.

#43Apparently Postman needs to be online in order to send “telemetry”: https://anonymousdata.medium.com/postman-is-logging-all-your...

#44This is exactly why I made Yaak [1]. It's fully offline, no telemetry, open source, and can even sync with Git. https://yaak.app
Curious to know more about the commercial licensing scheme for Yaak: if i’ve read correctly, purchasing a pro license if based on « good faith » as the features are exactly the same as the MIT licensed Hobby version?
Sincere question, been studying lots of OSS commercial licensing and always wonder what works in which context

I was looking at Yaak, and wondering if you've plans to bring it inside VS Code some day?
how would someone use this in a project that operates within VS Code Remote where the source sits on a remote server and isn't physically on the file system.

#46This could have been a 10 Megabyte TUI app in your terminal tab. Boggles my mind how even this kind of app manages to bring in Electron and the cloud. Edit: Ah, so here it is: https://posting.sh
Wow, I've been looking for a postman/Bruno/foo replacement that I could use inside a remote ssh server or remote dev containers in vs code. This might be it!

Everyone accepted because it slowly became standard tool. I have business guys using postman and sharing collections is kind of must. I hate it, for myself I don’t use it but when having to share API stuff I have to use it because that’s what other people understand. Good for postman business, bad for everyone.
We moved to bruno, we're quite happy with it.
To second this, I moved to Bruno after Postman became an 'online' tool awhile back and it's done exactly what I've needed since.

That is true of many software companies these days.
