> Nice CLI Clients that use plain text files: Jetbrains Http Client, Hurl, Httpie In what way is Jetbrain's http client a CLI tool ? There's also vscode rest client. There's no need to shortsell other clients. I think Bruno has sufficient differentiators to standout on its own.

Sorry if it came across as trying to shortsell. I was just trying to point out the key thing that makes Bruno unique in the ecosystem

Well based on historical experience with Postman and Insomnia most probably Bruno will go the same way once they get enough users hooked in. Especially once a VC gets into the fold.

Hey there, this is Anoop - creator of Bruno. Happy to see Bruno at the top of HN We will never take VC funding. We received around 10 inbound reach outs from VCs till date and have denied funding from all of them. We will remain independent and I have written about it in detail here https://www.usebruno.com/blog/bootstrapping

While we are at it, is there a nice tool to document (foreign) APIs in a collaborative way? Maybe using Markup Language? Shared via Git? There are so many undocumented APIs there, that i use daily and it is good to put my annotations anywhere.

I think you may want to look at OpenAPI specs. It is yaml description of API and can be consumed by many tools.
