Comment on Insomnium – Local, privacy-focused fork of Insomnia API clientparent

I’m also a bit baffled. What’s so hard about curl with a UI? Why are there multiple entire companies in this space? I mean, competition is great and all, but these two at least look in a race to the bottom.

At my company I started building an app to do api calls to our own api. It’s basically specialised version of Insomnia/Postman, because BOTH of them managed to screw my configuration. And you are right: it’s nothing insanely hard. Granted - a more general purpose version would be a bit more tricky due to the need of handling special cases, but it is nothing too difficult.
