Absolutely love Insomnia for its GraphQL features. Made learning the spec a breeze.

So the alternative to a partially closed source freemium app is...another partially closed source freemium app?
- andrew_ 4y ago
  It's an alternative, and as stated is my favorite. If closed source bothers you, find another alternative. Or you could continue to reply insufferably. The choice is yours.

  I dont understand the sentiment behind these kinds of comments. They listed an alternative. Since when did alternatives mean open source only? I dont see it mentioned in HN guidelines either. And why is closed source considered to be bad by default? I have no idea. There are wonderful closed source apps out there that are reliable and have been well maintained and never had any issues and nefarious open-source apps that did bait and switch, pulled off out of spite, shut down because of lack of funds and many more reasons. We dont have to be snarky every time someone tries to suggest or do something. We could do better by listing may be a favorable alternative. We are insulting both the developer and the commenter by being snarky.

  What do you mean partially closed source? I thought Insomnia was fully open source[1] and I couldn't find any closed source elements after looking around. 1: https://github.com/Kong/insomnia https://github.com/Kong/insomnia
