I have never used Postman, but I am curious, how useful or good, if any, their product is? given the recent bashing it received for being over-valued and being just a wrapper around curl. If people like it and are willing to pay for it, isn't its valuation justified, which I think is true for any startup in general.
- smt88 3y agoPostman was fantastic as a GUI for curl many years ago. After raising money, they bloated the app with confusing, half-baked features, and whoever was in charge of their usability really botched it. It's unusable now and I used to dread opening it up. I switched to Firecamp[1] and have been very happy with it. 1. https://firecamp.io/ https://firecamp.io/
- maccard 3y agoIt's a good tool, and it's as much a wrapper around curl as intellij is a wrapper around notepad. That said, it's not worth paying more for than GitHub per seat for my team, so we do without.
