Bruno
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].

HTTPie Desktop: cross-platform API testing client for humans
Kreya [1] can do that. It is even optimized for it, so that diffs should be perfectly readable.

Tell HN: Postman just wiped all my stuff
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.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Insomnia?
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

Insomnia REST client now requires an account
If you need gRPC, I can recommend https://kreya.app/

Best alternative to Postman?
I like Kreya (kreya.app), but I am biased, since I am one of the creators :)

Milkman (postman alternative) now supports http/3
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.

Postman Now Supports gRPC
There certainly are plenty of Postman alternatives out there, one that I've used before is Milkman: https://github.com/warmuuh/milkman
It's built on a plugin architecture, does gRPC, GraphQL, JDBC, Ws, et.al. Other plugins allow sharing of workspaces to various services. Written in Java/JavaFX, brew or chocolatey install.

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I built milkman[1], an alternative to postman because I wanted one tool to integrate with the whole web development stack. One tool that contains my SQL, rest and grpc calls to easily debug issues. Also nearly none of those kind of tools that existed supported SSE which I also use in my day to day work.
