#3Interesting. glad to see the transparency. oss monetization is really hard.
sadly, most dev's don't pay for dev tooling.
really liking Bruno so far. Also I don't think a gui client would need vc funding. The pressure to show returns is what turns them to bloatware and saas.
I would pay for supporter edition if they go that route. tired of switching tools every 2 years.

#4Sadly, the problem I see with Bruno is that users migrating from competition are actually low-value targets and would never pay for anything. Regardless with what happened to Postman and Insomnia, they didn't loose any significant market share (again, only a certain minority, which would never pay anyways). Most of the people will just accept the new conditions and go on. It's not worth the hassle for them to migrate
Good luck!

There is no pressure if you don’t need much money and get it from right people, who know the deal upfront

that rings true. and devs dont usually pay for dev tools. the only way I see them having any success is if they gain significant market adoption
however I applaud the effort trying to innovate in the saturated field. Almost every alternative on that list except thunder client is vc funded. I still can't wrap my head around postmans 5.6b val lol

It's convenience and nothing else that's all these tools have going for them. It's just to catch lazy bastards out who based their whole workflow on it. It's the scummiest way to do business and everyone associated with it gets on my private "Don't do business with"-list.

Well, when they become/are the major player (close to monopoly) and then can ratchet up some enterprise crap, then do the 10% per year squeeze - well, that's what VCs believe in (and buy). A 10x multiple means they "only" need $500M TTM to justify to the next mark. And, these big valuation help with the IPO, loads of folk love to buy hyped up IPO.
