Nice! Insomnia was getting shittier in every update. Both insomnium and bruno looks good. Thanks ๐
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. I switched from Postman because all I wanted, damnit, was to paste a cURL command as a template and go from there.
I know this isn't a rare request, because back when I started, it was one of three advertised features, and there were official Insomnia video guides on it.
For years, every goddamn update made it harder and harder. It's now completely unintuitive to do, if you don't know how it's done.
An electrone app for REST testing? Like running a freight train to move around a couch.
Valid criticism. I would be down for e.g a QT based alternative, but I'm not aware of any :/
Great to hear, i didn't know Insomnia also went the way of forcing cloud integration (which is also a huge security issues with the usage of credentials etc.) along with Postman. Our company actually suggested Insomnia as an alternative to Postman upon banning the latter, but they might revise that recommendation to Insomnium now.
Insomnium is also the name of a great melodic death metal band by the way: https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Insomnium/2332
What's with the enshittification of all those API testing tools? Can't we just have a nice GUI for cURL that doesn't feel the need to reinvent the wheel and make money?
The vote for the project logo is still open! https://github.com/ArchGPT/insomnium/discussions/11
All of those icons are too complicated.
I do like HoppScotch. Is there a reason why you may prefer Insomnia?
I prefer a desktop app
How does Insomnia/Insomium compare to dot-http ? It looks like a nice UI wrapped around CURL. A Postman alternative.
