I’ve been using Insomnia, but it seems they’ve enshittified. I started it up after an upgrade and found that Environments are now paywalled/behind an account. Is there a true open-source alternative to Postman/Insomnia anyone recommends?

There was postwowan, it is currently renamed to Hoppscotch https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch
I have been using Bruno and I am quite happy with it (+ you can version and share your projects) https://www.usebruno.com/
I actually don’t find bruno that great compare to insomnia. it doesn’t have basic features like request history in the free tier.
There’s Yaak which is pretty good aside the fact that it doesn’t handle huge requests collections without lagging lile crazy.
After trying these two, I went back to insomnia.
Yep, it’s also able to import Postman collections.
Bruno looks almost exactly the same! Thank you!

curl command in a shell script. Use
jq,hq,gron,grepor whatever to parse output. Pipe the response to a file to cache. Use a text editor and tmux for UI. Program workflows directly into the shell script. UNICS is an IDE.tl;dr Bruno
Curl.
You know what’s better than downloading Postman? Not downloading Postman.
Bookmarked that shit so fuckin’ hard.
They have a CLI as well as a Postman like desktop interface. One thing I prefer about their GUI over Postman is the way variables are defined/edited for multiple environments in a single view.
This looks really nice! Thank you!
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech plus one to this. there is a fork of insomnia and its fine to but httpie was just as good and has an easier to remember name.
