It’s gotten even worse when they moved completely to the cloud like a year or two ago! You now can’t use it without making a Postman account, and all your API collections are stored on their servers :) Absolutely no security risks here, API endpoints of in-development systems aren’t a massive attack vector at all !!
We had to ban the whole tool at my company, the alternative of choice is Bruno because it’s at least completely local when you install it.
What makes you say that though… What specifically about it do you find awful? I prefer xh on the off times I need to test an API, but I remember sometimes it was nice to be able to save API calls as a set, like in the GUI programs.
Let’s be honest, that’s not really the same thing, is it. Not as easy to work with. It’s been a while since I used a GUI like that but I remember it being much easier to manipulate query parameters and post body etc with a GUI. At least according to me. 🤷♂️
I did not know that postman existed. Knowing that made my life worse.

Because it’s awful

Pretty much everything said on the website… I’m a hardcore cli, max. tui user. Using electron is torture.
😁 I feel you, I’m pretty much the same.
Would be neat to have a TUI query suite where you could organize an API in a similar way. If anybody knows one, drop it below! 🙏
maybe there’s an nvim plugin?
That would be neat. I migrated to Helix a couple years ago though.
Kind of like Ruby on Rails
