Bruno + git has been perfect for our team. Collections in the repo, no external dependencies, works offline. Should have switched years ago.

#112Apparently Postman needs to be online in order to send “telemetry”: https://anonymousdata.medium.com/postman-is-logging-all-your...
'Telemetry' that, among other offenses, secretly leaks customer secrets that they expressly claim to protect, according to that post.

You're already going down the path Postman did. No way I'm using that.
you use it until he fucks it up and then switch to the next guy. These api clients are rocket science, the barrier for entry is very low.
This is my retirement project. I'd like to call it "done" within 2 years

#114This is exactly why I made Yaak [1]. It's fully offline, no telemetry, open source, and can even sync with Git. https://yaak.app
Just noticed that with my star on GitHub it now has over 9000 stars!

I love a solo dev building from scratch is going up against an entire team and company who have years of head start, alot more money and a product that the solo dev originally wrote for them. And the solo dev has a better product already and might actually win haha. Underdog story. Rooting for you!
Underdog? More like topdog!

#116Off-Topic: I read about yaak app as an alternative to Postman - can anyone recommend an alternative to Stoplight Studio for covering "the other side" by any means?
I loved to use their free desktop app for building API documentations which can be used for scaffolding / generating APIs but for some reason I don't remember right now I had to stop using it.

#118If you're willing to use a CLI, you can try Hurl [1]. It's is an Open Source cli using libcurl to run and test HTTP requests with plain text.
We use libcurl for the reliability, quickness and top features (HTTP/3 IPv6 for instance) and there are features like:
- requests chaining,
- capturing and passing data from a response to another request,
- response tests (JSONPath, XPath, SSL certs, redirects etc...)
There is nice syntax sugar for requesting REST/SOAP/GraphQL APIs but, at the core, it's just libcurl! You can export you files to curl commands for instance. (I'm one of the maintainers)

#119I feel bad for the engineering team that has to implement it all this way. Hang in there folks.

This looks great. If you can wait 8 years before you sell out, that should be long enough for me to retire. Give me a headsup if they offer you a billion earlier so I can start looking for Yaak's replacement.
