- aniforprez 3y agoI don't think I've seen any real material difference to Insomnia towards the negative after they were acquired. It still works just fine. It's far FAR less bloated than Postman and easier to use than alternatives like Paw (now RapidAPI)
- ehutch79 3y agoI didn't even know they got aquired. It's been a long time since i used it.
- fosk 3y agoWhat don't you like about Insomnia?
- ehutch79 3y agoAll the "project management" type stuff. It used to be just a request builder. Something easier to fiddle with than the command line for analysis. Now it's got a bunch of features and wants you to build projects? I stopped using it a long time ago.
- TremendousJudge 3y agoCan somebody remind me of the name of the web based oss postman-like tool that was posted to HN recently? I've been looking for it but I can't find it
