I don't think I've seen any real material difference to Insomnia towards the negative after they were acquired. It still works just fine. It's far FAR less bloated than Postman and easier to use than alternatives like Paw (now RapidAPI)

I didn't even know they got aquired. It's been a long time since i used it.

Can somebody remind me of the name of the web based oss postman-like tool that was posted to HN recently? I've been looking for it but I can't find it

Saw this in a comment below - https://firecamp.dev/

Hey @ramitsuri, thank you for the mention on behalf of Firecamp team.

There's https://restfox.dev which I built.

To stay unbiased, here's a list of other web based postman alternatives:

- https://hoppscotch.io (this is the most popular one)

- https://httpie.io/app

What don't you like about Insomnia?

All the "project management" type stuff. It used to be just a request builder. Something easier to fiddle with than the command line for analysis. Now it's got a bunch of features and wants you to build projects? I stopped using it a long time ago.
