I find interesting on how on a startup related forum, anything related with not paying is always celebrated.
Once CEO asked me: "why are you spending months of your valuable time to create a tool to solve a thing, instead paying $10/month?" "I know developers never pay, but why?"

Bruno is not free. It has a free version, but you can pay to have more features.

#323Hey everyone, this is Anoop - creator of Bruno. Happy to see Bruno at the top of HN! I will try to address some common questions in this comment. > 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. We will never take VC funding. We received around 10 inbound reach outs from VCs till date…

It's not very fun to run the auth call, then copy and paste the access token to the next call, and have to update all of your curl cmds all the time... Even if you use env variables, that's a horrible way to use env variables.
You’re making the case for automation, which happens to be something the shell excels at. Use unexported shell variables or command substitution (e.g., “$(pbpaste)”). Directly use the result of the auth call without going through the clipboard if possible. Create a shell script if shell history isn’t enough. Use interactive notebooks if you need something more advanced. The possibilities are infinite.

And a question: can you share your plans about Vscode extension? It seems to be broken for a while, do you have plans/capacity to revive it?

Why pay when there is a free, open and, if need arises, hackable alternatives ?
Developers do pay when there is value is. See how profitable cloud hosting is!

Did you design the logo? I saw it and immediately wanted to buy a license! Great product!
Logo is from openemoji: https://openmoji.org/library/emoji-1F436/ The real Bruno looks like the logo too :) https://www.usebruno.com/about
