Insomnia > Postman.
I switched to Insomnia around 2021 when Postman started enshittifying and found I liked it a lot more. Insomnia has also been relatively enshittified unfortunately, but it feels like it's to a lesser extent.
Bruno > Insomnia
Dropped insomnia after it started to ask me to login and collaborate on things
So you stopped after collaborate, but did you listen?
What's the reference here?
Ice Ice Baby
Insomnia user here, it is worth moving to Bruno?
If insomnia is working for you I wouldn't change just for the sake of it. If insomnia starts to get in your way or you want to get out of something that is VC backed before the enshitification really takes hold I would consider it.
100% won't regret it
Postman was great when it made APIs simple, but over time all the accounts, cloud sync, and extra features kind of slowed down the core workflow. And then a lot of clients just ended up copying that model instead of rethinking it.
On the optimistic side we are seeing some stuff that want to rethink this: tools like Voiden and Yaak with a few new approaches like Git-native workflows, reusable request pieces, more composable setups basically making API work feel more like actual dev work again.
true :) I heard this actually even from ex insomnia folks - the direction could have been much different.
That's a shame, because it was really great for a hot minute.
