Ask HN: Alternatives to Insomnia?
Given the recent update[0] pushed by the Insomnia team I am now looking for alternatives.
For now the best alternative I've found is Bruno[1]. But sadly it does not support gRPC.
Does anyone have a better solution?
These are some options I've looked into:
- https://hoppscotch.io/
- https://hurl.dev/
- https://recipeui.com/
- https://kreya.app/
- https://github.com/flawiddsouza/Restfox

- gatinsama 3y agoWhat's not to love about Bruno. Just read this: Bruno - Opensource, Sustainability, Privacy, Freedom and Incentives https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/discussions/269 https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/discussions/269

- jicea 3y agoHi maintainer of Hurl [1] here, I'll be happy to answer any question! If you're looking for a tool with a nice UI, Hurl might not be the ideal choice. We're focusing our tool on CLI usage and CI/CD integration. On the other side, Hurl is a pure Open Source tool, we're not VC backed. The tool is given to the community by a big French telco Orange, which use it and has no intention to be in the software business. In a word, there is less chance for Hurl to fell into Postman or Insomnia fate. [1]: https://hurl.dev https://hurl.dev
