Insomnia, an API development/debugging/testing tool, has been thoroughly enshittified. It now requires a cloud account to use, even though most of the use is just sending requests from your local machine (to servers often running on localhost too).

Luckily it was OSS so we have a new fork without the cloud "features": Insomnium

Nice! Insomnia was getting shittier in every update. Both insomnium and bruno looks good. Thanks ๐Ÿ™

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. I switched from Postman because all I wanted, damnit, was to paste a cURL command as a template and go from there.

I know this isn't a rare request, because back when I started, it was one of three advertised features, and there were official Insomnia video guides on it.

For years, every goddamn update made it harder and harder. It's now completely unintuitive to do, if you don't know how it's done.
