I've been meaning to put some comparisons together! Bruno is also a good local-first client but leans more toward Postman's market. The main advantage Bruno has is the ability to run tests, and a CLI to do so. Yaak supports more p

Ya, the gamble of HN I guess. Thanks for saying so! It will be local friendly for as long as I'm working on it, and I'm in it for the long haul this time.

It's just personal preference. If you don't see the need for this type of tool in your workflow, you likely aren't the target user. It's very similar to GUI database clients. Sure, you could use the command line, but a l

You can only import OpenAPI. Yaak itself has more features than can be represented in the spec, syncing them is not feasible.

Ya the bundle size is different for sure. The memory usage isn't far off though, since it's still a web app.

I've been working on Yaak [1] which supports gRPC. Websockets are also now live in the current beta. [1] https://yaak.app

Yes, Tauri isn't that much different than Electron. I also bundles Node JS to power Yaak's plugin system, which makes it even more similar. I think Electron gets a bad rep mostly because big companies use it to build low quality a

The reason I started Yaak was because of what happened after I sold it. What makes you think I'd do that again?

How much additional overhead is there for managing the bare-metal vs cloud? Is it mostly fine after the big effort for initial setup?

Great question! (Creator here) Yaak is meant to be just an HTTP client, where Postman aims to do everything related to building APIs (mocking, testing, etc). This makes Yaak simple and easy to use, in comparison

Yes, custom. Just a basic Go server with some HTML/CSS

I appreciate it! I really enjoy working in open source so I'm glad I found a model that should work.
