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!
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.
I 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

When Postman started becoming shit, I started using Insomnia, which is also turning into shit now.

There seems to be a common theme here. Some project gets traction, it works very well. Then they got VC money and the project turn to crap for the community. Not all VC project, but seems to be common theme. I also aware that devs need funding to keep a project going for the long run. Are there any better alternatives for funding now days?
Then a VC fund gives these developers a dumptruck full of money and expect returns immediately afterward. Something like Postman likely doesn't make a ton of money unless they're doing something anti-consumer like selling data.

In case you aren’t familiar (and with apologies for my verbosity if you are): VSCode Remote can be best understood as a sort of hybrid of a local text editor and a remote web-based or X11 view of an editor for a remote session. When you use a remote, the code is on the remote and all your editing functions (search, version control, terminal, extensions) happen in the remote via a worker process. So in a remote sessio…
probably too much work for a solo dev
Handy Dandy Notebook as well, but that requires some reformulation to get everything in terms of standard curl/node/python/etc commands. (whether that’s better or worse than a custom http dsl is a matter of some debate)

Good thing is that we can start using Insomnium now.
It is unmaintained. This is the cost of devs focusing on corporate gains and not their craft.
Happy with https://yaak.app/so far
Hey, I'm the creator of Yaak! Let me know how it could be even better :)
Is it basically "an IDE for playing with API's"?
Is it only for HTTP-based API's?
Does it come with canned functionality for popular services out there?
I read this but still don't feel like I fully understand what it does https://www.postman.com/api-platform/api-client/
EDIT: This blog post https://schier.co/blog/call-for-beta-testers made it click a little better: "...app that makes testing REST APIs super easy"
