    Yes, yes it is.

    Https://Insomnia.rest on the other hand just works.

    I found out about Postman earlier today, I found it splendid 😭

    Curl + some bash aliases is enough to replace postman imho

    Edit: even easier to use than postman because you don't have to use your mouse to click here and there

    @AlexDeLarge as a configurable alternative to postman, with on going development, it’s made life easier.

    Plus it has decent dark themes so that’s a plus in my book.

    Yes, yes it is.

    Insomnia is Canadian made in my home province on BC, so I won’t bash it, but...

    By far the best API tool is Paw for the Mac.

    I can hear the comments now “but these other ones are free!”

    Yes they are, and you get what you pay for.

    One thing I found with both postman and insomnia is I would like to just have the 'workspace' saved in a folder of my source code git project.. but of course they want you to sign up for their team experience.

    A gui is nice for a one time test but I feel if you are developing test cases it will be better just to have scripts for this..

    I use Chrome so I add restlet to every instalation.

    Let's not forget that Postman has really good automatic testing features which Insomnia does not have.

    @C0D4 Yeah there's nothing worse than an app with no dark theme.
