I created a cli postman test runner 8 years ago due to the pains involved in API testing: https://github.com/hantuzun/jetman It seems like the API QA developer tooling has still room for disruption.
There is an official cli tool called Newman for running the postman collections.
As well, it would be nice to be able to import my rather large postman collections (an vice versa - provide a collection from Bruno to a Postman user).
Looking forward to when I can switch to this full time.
If you use Emacs, restclient is awesome https://github.com/pashky/restclient.el
I am quite partial RapidAPI (previously Paw) but this looks really nice!
Postman/Bruno/insomnia all suffer from the 'curse' of web design making it's way into professional tools leading to lower information density and higher 'white space'.
I feel so strongly on the matter is why I started a project that is unfortunately in comatose for the past year : https://nokori.surge.sh/
The design isn't there yet, but I'm aiming for a professional looking information dense UI.

You should try insomnia
Insomnia and postman are pretty similar these days. I like the REST extension for VS Code and hurl
Thank you. As soon as Postman asked for a login I uninstalled it and have been curling from text files ever since. My younger coworkers won't drop Postman though. Maybe this will help them switch.
Can't echo this enough. Thank you! Beyond just the login reqs from Postman, the whole Postman UI has become an overcomplicated mess in my opinion. I just want something simple to make remote HTTP calls. I can understand adding some useful extra things like variable interpolation and separate environments, but beyond that, Postman went way off the "enterprisey" deep end.
