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

Comments

Yes! I plan to maintain it long-term! I will be rolling out some feature improvements and updates these few weeks.

I still think Kong did a good job in crafting the product. I started using Insomnia in my previous company 3 years ago and our team loved it.

What happened recently felt a little bit like the Unity fiasco (of course, in a much much smaller scale). Though as a user I would say Kong had taken a bad turn, as a dev I'm still grateful to them for open-sourcing such a fantastic product.

One of the reasons I forked Insomnia was because it uses React & Electron, both of which I'm quite familiar with. And I think many parts of Insomnia are quite nicely written overall (but unfortunately things like nedb that was used is no longer maintained https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb so it's probably wise to swap out at some point)
