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

      Valid criticism. I would be down for e.g a QT based alternative, but I’m not aware of any :/

      I mostly use it for grpc and gql testing

      but mostly it’s easier to change address based on environment (local, staging, production) without editing each requests
