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
This is a conscious bet I'm making. Yes, it's a good-faith license. The license doesn't even apply to the OSS version (only prebuilt binaries). The bet is that super fans will pay for it in the early days and, as it gets adopted by larger companies, they will pay in order to comply with the legalities of commercial use. So far, it's working! The largest company so far is 34 seats, with a couple more in the pipe!

#104I'm looking at alternatives that are guarantee to work locally and only found the following: Posting.sh -> Postman imports are experimental which makes it a non-starter for people like myself with large Postman collections. TUI only also makes it harder to switch. Insomnia -> Owned by another large tech company. Yaak -> Made by the same guy who created AND SOLD Insomnia above. Not exactly comforting to switch over fo…

I know it doesn't have the functionality of postman, but this is how I build up interactions with a new API.Re: Postman which I thought worked locally on my computer, is down
#105I remember when one of the "Core Goals" of Postman was "Complete control over your data - Keep simple JSON based data formats which can be exported and shared as per user needs". https://web.archive.org/web/20140604204111/http://www.getpos...
not possible once you sign away your allegiance to a VC
sign away means getting rid of vcs.

So, I said fuck it and switched to a real, open source alternative, Insomnia, instead:

You're already going down the path Postman did. No way I'm using that.
These api clients are rocket science, the barrier for entry is very low.
