I stopped using Postman when it magically started connecting to a central server for… nothing useful, really. I have no idea why people would design software this way, especially a development tool that should work with any web server, under any network condition (including fully offline against localhost). Now I just have a Makefile with a bunch of curl invocations, or Python tests with requests to match against exp…

What about Bruno[1]? 1: https://www.usebruno.com/

tried it but had some buggy interface when i used it full-time earlier this year. (albeit i work in a slow vm)

it might have changed now but it did not support grpc endpoints, which was a dealbreaker for me. but definitely appreciate the project and i hope it reaches core feature parity soon.

How are you running it? The code for the license management and badge are not included by default when running "npm start" or "npm run app-build". And yes, you can indeed run the OSS yourself for commercial purposes.

I built a binary using the `tauri.release.conf.json` as my config file

That'll do it. That config is used for the production build of Yaak that's downloadable from the website. Just running "tauri build" or "npm run app-build" is what you want.

How's that been going for Oracle so far?

Pretty poorly actually, people avoid Oracle products like the plague. Nobody is buying a JVM from Oracle or buying their DB - they're using open source solutions that are both free and provide more features. They have a lot of inerita, but that's it. If you're in Greenfield development, there is a close to 0% chance you will choose Oracle as your RDBMS. Um, oops.

Hey, personally I agree. Why would I ever go with Oracle.

But that's A) me personally and B) me in Cloud/Startup type companies, so of course we don't got with Oracle.

But like you mentioned, inertia. So my previous gigs that were large multi-national of course were all Oracle. And they were all huge and had zero reason to not just buy the Oracle tax. Which is why Oracle is going strong.

Despite all the rage, Oracle can still survive quite some time on running boring things like I don't know, many large banks and other boring old businesses. Which of those is really gonna go "AWS Aurora MySQL" when the have had an in-house "Oracle Exadata" run their entire business operation "just fine" for longer than those Cloud providers have even be around?

My experience is the opposite. Teams that are knowledgeable jury rig their own custom solutions without all the enterprise cruft. They make solutions that fix their problem and they do it faster than the teams who use bloated enterprise solutions. I am tired of seeing over engineered enterprise solutions that that are implemented and never used because they can’t be integrated into the dev workflow easily. Simple bas…

The main problem with enterprise crap is portability. It only runs under very specific circumstances. Bash and Perl scripts run, truly, everywhere - so you get real collaboration. I can share it with anyone on my team and they can use it.

Well written bash will run anywhere. Amateur bash will only run on the version of Mac OS it was written on, and even then only after the correct collection of random homebrew packages installed has been installed.

I agree, which is why I think most bash scripts should actually be Perl scripts. There, I said it.

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

Hey @gschier this is awesome. I've been a long time user of Insomnia and since the acquisition it's ever so slowly, well... it's been a challenge for me.

I didn't know you created Yaak!

I just downloaded Yaak and it's been awesome, thank you!

I downloaded this through AUR on Arch and one bit of feedback is that I wish you'd make the sig verification a whole bunch easier, thanks!

Ah, yes, the cloud-dependent tool that forces you to pay per seat and log in for any type of collaboration is down when their cloud provider is. Anyways, the folks have spoken, no need to double down. There are more than a dozen alternatives to it, and new ones are coming up. I'm helping build a new one. - Completely offline. - Gives the ability to build reusable blocks (headers, query params, etc) - Let's you docume…

Voiden looks really promising, so I installed it to get started, and here's my hot takes so far before even using it. * The text is tiny for my old eyes. I figured there's probably a setting for it and hit Cmd-, and found there's no settings UI whatsoever. No keyboard shortcut either it seems, and no help menu either, so no searching for "keyboard" with Shift-Cmd-/ * .void files may be markdown, but no markdown edito…

Hi, thx for the feedback! Testing the settings (including different themes and font sizes as we speak). Some tweaks are been made on the responses side as well. As per the rest of your comments, some of these things have been discussed or touched upon, others have been just added to the discussion board :)

Web app. The entire point here is using something local and not web based

It is a CLI app. I didn't even know that they had added a web frontend to it. Try this: https://httpie.io/cli

Ah interesting. I visited the website before but immediately was greeted with a web app. Thanks.

I don’t see support for environments, is that right?
