Question: Do I miss something by not using Postman? My alternatives for development are "Edit and Resend" of a request (in Firefox) and plain old curl scripts for reusable examples.
Other then that, its same old curl.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
There has been a release in september, issues has been solved within last month, and multiple pull requests has been managed (merged and rejected) also recently.
Maybe you refer to issues specific to a platform? Thanks in advance.

I guess a substitution would be a git repo with curl scripts and environment variables?
We also have some non-tech people who use postman to run tests.
This could have been a 10 Megabyte TUI app in your terminal tab. Boggles my mind how even this kind of app manages to bring in Electron and the cloud. Edit: Ah, so here it is: https://posting.sh
Probably because it began as an chrome addon before it was "standalone".

At the end of the day with Postman you wind up trying to codify requests via collections, which tends to just be programming in a more limited language.

We use it a bit at our company. We have a collection file that includes a ton of requests with headers and body. Developers can with ease load that collection file and run it against their own server, and also quickly change to a different server with just a click.

Yep, and works well for us.
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
Been using Yaak for 6-9 months now, initially built from source, but now a paying subscriber. Recently saw that you post open metrics[1] on subscriber count and revenue, and love getting a little look behind the curtains. [1]: https://yaak.app/open
