any Insomnia alternatives which are not Postman? I need rest and graphql support.
Insomnia is getting worse and worse and I'm worried it won't be better.

@opensource

Hi there! Your text contains links to other Lemmy communities, here are correct links for Lemmy users: !golang@programming.dev, !opensource@programming.dev

Insomnia’s source code is FOSS, there are forks since the company’s recent changes.

Check out Bruno www.usebruno.com

I switched to it from insomnia and it has been pretty decent once I got used to it

@Daveofthenorth thanks. I'll check this soon.

I have recently tried Bruno, but it lacked some basic UI features I use regularly, like file picker UI for uploading a multipart file.

I also gave Recipe Ul a look, but I did not see an option to switch environments. (Haven’t installed it and tried it, just went through the docs)

So I settled on Hopsscotch. Though their desktop UI is still in alpha, it looked good to me.

No, I am trying out their desktop app.

Huh, I guess there have been some changes since I’ve last checked

What is the problem with insomnia?

They recently introduced an account requirement, which is a no-go for me.

You can just use normal .http files. There’s support in all jetbrains products, vs code, visual studio, jetbrains even wrote a cli tool for it. blog.jetbrains.com/…/http-client-tools-everywhere…

The nice thing about http files is that you’re never going to be locked into some company’s standard. They’re literally all just plain text files.

MS is trying to create a standard. github.com/dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs/issues/29431

There’s also httpyac.github.io though I’ve never heard of anyone using it.

Anyway, moving away from these proprietary separate HTTP/REST call products is a good thing. Postman really led the enshittification in this area.
