Good for them if their customer base is so strong that they can do this.

#32If anyone is looking to switch, I've far preferred using Insomnia to Postman https://insomnia.rest/
I switched to Insomnia because I was having a miserable time with Postman being able to resolve hostnames created as part of a Docker network on my local machine. There were a bunch of stack overflow and similar posts about how to configure it properly and nothing worked.
Insomnia didn't need any configuration at all, and the UI is so much less bloated and confusing

#33Worth pointing out that postwoman is free and opensource. It is not quite as full-featured as postman, but for quick mocking without requiring registration, it is a great option. https://postwoman.io/ https://github.com/liyasthomas/postwoman
Oh look a free clone of a commercial product, let's all jump on it and undermine the devs of postman and insomnia, whom have escaped the 9 to 5 by building awesome tools, because that's what we do: we kill indie development with free clones of small projects.
Your comment history shows an interesting grudge against OSS. Do you genuinely think we'd be better off if all software were commercial? I'm asking sincerely.

I have to agree, I've been enjoying insomnia more, especially with the dark theme. I'm also glad the developer makes enough income on it. I also enjoy using Mockoon since it keeps a history of requests I make when I proxy it, very useful. I wish I knew a good proxying API tool that was a little more autonomous and feature full.
Check out burp suite.

I genuinely believe OSS is great for sharing knowledge, but I also genuinely believe that no other industry out there has managed to play itself at this scale. Every single tool you want is made available for free by devs who burn themselves out writing free code to impress employers. Essentially, OSS devs have fought against corporate only to become trapped by corporate because now software has near zero value. Pretty illogical if you ask me. I'll buy a license for either of the two (postman or insomania), just because this crap needs to stop.

Or ya know, since we’re all software developers and many of us need/want a tool like this we could collectively build a community version that we distribute freely and split the labor cost of development and maintenance among the people who use and contribute to it.
yeah let's all split those 8$ it costs, because that's what will get us out of the grind. 8$ a month is less than two coffees, if you need to split such costs among peers then you're probably in the wrong job.
> 8$ a month is less than two coffees
You can buy 1kg of coffee beans with that.

I use Insomnia too but wished it saved a history of my past requests. Other than that, it's actually much much faster than PostMan. I wonder if it's because it doesn't save my request history...

I really think it's creepy to stalk old people comments before answering them.

It does. Check the right side panel above the response. There’s a history icon (I think it may be next to the response time? Not at my computer.)
