If anyone is looking to switch, I've far preferred using Insomnia to Postman https://insomnia.rest/

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.

Charles Proxy has been pretty good to me - it's straightforward with little setup. It could use more features but it does exactly what it advertises.

I use it for security testing our website, making sure form data is properly handled, etc. It's also good for reverse engineering apis and can replace files with your own too.

Some of us just do it because we enjoy the process and like to see the things we make get used by other people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've never contributed to an OSS project with the goal of impressing an employer or padding a resume.

How do you pay your bills? Or do you just code like 23 hours a day?

No, but I do code sometimes in my spare time or I am sometimes able to utilize my work time to contribute if it's functionality my company needs from an open source project we're using. It's not like you have to sign up for 8-hour shifts in open source software development.

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

I've seen this particular user's comments frequently enough that their username clicked in my mind. I promise you I don't have the time to go through everyone's post history.

My apologies.

I mean, those prices are still not massive if your team is using Postman a lot. I don't think they won't lose much business over this move and overall it's understandable when you look at the expansion of the software and the probably much bigger team behind it.

Makes me consider the other options now. It use to be best for the dollar.

> Existing customers using the free version of Postman can lock in 2019 rates by upgrading to the existing Postman Pro annual plan or Postman Enterprise before February 1, 2020.

So if I understand that right, there will be no free plan from 1st of Feb going forward. Or do others read that differently?

I should probably start looking for alternatives and saving my API documentations from Postman somewhat better.
