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.
#programming @python @golang
@opensource
Check out Bruno https://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.
Insomnia’s source code is FOSS, there are forks since the company’s recent changes.
@comfydecal any examples?
Engine search “insomnium” (like codium for vscode), there are multiple. This is the first result.
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.

What’s wrong with postman?
@ShrimpsIsBugs it’s not opensource
Fair.
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. https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2023/07/04/http-client-tools-everywhere/https://kenslearningcurve.com/tutorials/test-an-api-by-using-http-files-in-vscode/
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. https://github.com/dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs/issues/29431
There’s also https://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.

@immortalgeek thanks for your help, however as @comfydecal recommended I decided to get some Insomnia fork https://github.com/ArchGPT/insomniumHi there! Your text contains links to other Lemmy communities, here are correct links for Lemmy users: !golang@programming.dev, !opensource@programming.dev
What is the problem with insomnia?
They recently introduced an account requirement, which is a no-go for me.
