How does this compare to Postman?
- mod 9y agoI greatly prefer it, although if postman doesn't have any annoyances for you, then insomnia might not be better for your use case. Mostly the environments & variables make insomnia pretty fantastic.
- gramstrong 9y agoHow do its environments and variables differ from postman?
- simplify 9y agoIt loads much faster, which matters a great deal to me.
- tthayer 9y agoIt isn't dependent on your browser, which has made testing much more reliable in my use cases. My workplace uses a lot of single-sign-on stuff which makes it hard to authenticate using service accounts and whatnot.
- tedmiston 9y agoWhen you tried Postman were you using the web app version (eg, in the Chrome store) or the native version (eg, in the Mac App Store)?
- tthayer 9y agoI wasn't aware it had a desktop app!
- tedmiston 9y agoI wasn't either for a long time, and the desktop app has been much smoother in my experience.
- elcapitan 9y agoYes, recently noticed that I had some file upload issues with browser-based postman, and they suddenly disappeared when using the standalone. Not sure why, same settings. Looked like the browser based couldn't get the file/form encoding right.
