This is exactly why I made Yaak [1]. It's fully offline, no telemetry, open source, and can even sync with Git. https://yaak.app
Thanks for making this. May this stay un-enshittified by VC money for a very long time.

#122Yeah they really turned their product into over-complicated garbage instead of focusing on doing one thing well.
It’s annoying that the marketing and brand recognition has worked so well. My whole company uses postman and it’s a huge uphill battle to use anything else.
There are SO many alternatives. It’s curl UI wrapper with secrets* management! Why do we all need enterprise licenses??
*and the secrets were all exposed in logs!!

#123Bruno + git has been perfect for our team. Collections in the repo, no external dependencies, works offline. Should have switched years ago.
I had a weird issue when trying to import via pasting curls. I got fixed, and it’s been totally 100% great otherwise

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.
I've already sold once, and regretted it. I'm aiming to call Yaak "done" in the next few years and use it to fund my* retirement. See you there

#125Just use cURL.
It will never disappear, enshittify, or let you down. It's already modern, and has a great UI. It's available everywhere. It supports every protocol and feature under the sun. Those fancy features you think you need: you don't. Whatever you're missing can be easily added via simple shell scripts or aliases.

That Hotdog theme is stunning but I'm not sure if I mean "it's beautiful" or "it makes my head hurt."

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!
I really like that, a scaling license!
I have a suggestion:
Under pricing for the hobby tier you could add as free or pay what you want. $50/yr isn't crazy but might get a few smaller donations if that was an avenue.
