Just checked out Insomnia. From a first run through with a few endpoints it does seem beautifully done. I have been dismissive of electron-based apps in the past. VS.Code started to wear that down - I never took to using it because IntelliJ & emacs cover my bases, but I played with it enough to see its excellence. Now there's Insomnia. Perhaps I need to rethink my attitude to electron apps. I am uncomfortable with their size (eg. Insomnia @ 170MB), but given the quality that's clearly possible, I'm starting to distrust that discomfort.
- h1d 9y agoAnd what exactly makes you uncomfortable having 170MB sitting? OS must be crazy for you.
- crispinb 9y agoIt seems wasteful on space (when I have fancier native apps using much less). I'm not sure it matters that much in practise (though it did recently, before I upgraded my laptop SSD size). But neither am I 100% comfortable with giving comparatively minor apps carte blanche to use as much disk space as they wish. As I say, I'm unresolved on the matter. Really nice electron apps like Insomnia are prompting a rethink.
