Kreya VS ht

Looks very nice; I've also given up with Postman. gRPC support would probably get Bruno into my daily workflow immediately. I spent a couple hours in Postman trying to get gRPC to work and could not- the .proto files were never used successfully, and I had better experiences with Kreya [0] and grpcui [1].

Kreya [1] can do that. It is even optimized for it, so that diffs should be perfectly readable.

As one of the creators, I can recommmend https://kreya.app. It is not open source (like Postman), but has a strong focus on privacy and also stores the data locally.

As it has more powerful features (IMO) than most alternatives listed here, I am a little disappointed that it isn't mentioned more often.

There is also https://kreya.app, which has more features, but is closed-source

Given the recent update[0] pushed by the Insomnia team I am now looking for alternatives.

For now the best alternative I've found is Bruno[1]. But sadly it does not support gRPC.

Does anyone have a better solution?

These are some options I've looked into:

- https://hoppscotch.io/

- https://hurl.dev/

- https://recipeui.com/

- https://kreya.app/

- https://github.com/flawiddsouza/Restfox

If you need gRPC, I can recommend https://kreya.app/

I like Kreya (kreya.app), but I am biased, since I am one of the creators :)

Have you tried Kreya? While it does not support all of the many features of Postman, it has some innovative features. While also being web-based, it uses the native WebView of the OS, resulting in less RAM-usage than Electron based apps.

No need to use curl, make HTTP requests great again with https://github.com/ducaale/xh

Except when you actually enjoy things being fast. For example, HTTPie easily adds 0.5-1s delay to every request because it's written in Python, especially on the first invocation. xh (https://github.com/ducaale/xh), on the other hand, starts immediately because it's written in Rust. I very much like this trend.

HTTPie is great and was a big improvement for me over cURL.

However, I ended up switching to xh[1] as it's significantly faster and I prefer its output.

https://github.com/ducaale/xh

No, but unless portability is a concern or you're massively familiar with curl, you might want to consider xh. It's much more intuitive.

xh

wget on the other hand, automatically converts the ñ to UTF-8 hex and resolves the link perfectly.

I've searched the curl manpage and couldn't find a way to solve this. Please help.

I'm having to use `xh --curl` [1] to "fix" the links before I pass them to curl.

Very nice, you should add xh to the User-Agents though.

While not a rewrite - one recent tool for making http requests which i quite enjoy is:

https://github.com/ducaale/xh

It's basically python httpie rewritten in rust. my only gripe is that i keep forgetting that it exists - and that "xh" is for http and "xhs" is for https.

So i frequently end up with curl anyway:)
