You don't - ergo good faith. You can be an Oracle and audit your customers and develop that adversarial relationship. The idea is that that sort of thing makes you rot in the long run.

How's that been going for Oracle so far?

They may earn money but are totally rotten. They eat injured souls.

I'm looking at alternatives that are guarantee to work locally and only found the following: Posting.sh -> Postman imports are experimental which makes it a non-starter for people like myself with large Postman collections. TUI only also makes it harder to switch. Insomnia -> Owned by another large tech company. Yaak -> Made by the same guy who created AND SOLD Insomnia above. Not exactly comforting to switch over fo…

There’s also Bruno!

Everyone of their executives can look forward to 10,000 years of burning in hell, so I’d say pretty badly

So you sold insomnia, sold it, and then created another competing tool? There where no restrictions in the deal?

Non-competes expire

I love a solo dev building from scratch is going up against an entire team and company who have years of head start, alot more money and a product that the solo dev originally wrote for them.

And the solo dev has a better product already and might actually win haha.

Underdog story.

Rooting for you!

I made a very simple lightweight yaml based Postman alternative called `yapi`. https://github.com/jamierpond/yapi Run this: yapi -c ./users.yapi.yaml With this file: # users.yapi.yaml # yaml-language-server: $schema=https://pond.audio/yapi/schema url: http://localhost:3000 method: GET path: /api/users query: select[name]: true select[tag]: true limit: 10 Or just `yapi` to use fzf to find configs.

That's a really great concept and I could see how one could get used to the workflow with this!

But, why such low stats on github?! I guess everyone is jamming on postman, eh?

This could have been a 10 Megabyte TUI app in your terminal tab. Boggles my mind how even this kind of app manages to bring in Electron and the cloud. Edit: Ah, so here it is: https://posting.sh

> could have been a 10 Megabyte TUI app

Wow, in a world dominated by gigabytes of electron application, people thinks 10 MB is the optimal size for a simple utility TUI app.

As a reference, (from archlinux repo), vim’s install package is 2.3MB, curl is 1.2MB, lua (the complete language interpreter) is 362KB

I remember when one of the "Core Goals" of Postman was "Complete control over your data - Keep simple JSON based data formats which can be exported and shared as per user needs". https://web.archive.org/web/20140604204111/http://www.getpos...
