You can try https://github.com/flawiddsouza/Restfox. It's a web based HTTP client based on Postman and Insomnia.

Disclaimer: I'm the maintainer for it.

I took a lot of inspiration from Hurl while building Nap[0]. My next goals for it are a UI and/or a VS Code extension.

I learned while building nap[0] that sometimes ideas just need to simmer. It’s like cooking. Sometimes there’s that one step that makes the meal work, like adding wine to a hot skillet.

I had the initial idea for Nap over a Christmas break and built a working prototype. It took another 2 years for me to see a good opportunity to even use it for myself! But that was a catalyst that helped turn it into a more mature tool. It still has very few users, but I’m very happy with it, and that’s enough for me.

I'm working on Nap[1], a fast, file-based framework for defining and running HTTP integration tests via the CLI.

The ultimate goal is to embed Nap into the SDLC--tests that are defined during development and then run during CI/CD. I'm closing in on a V1 release of the CLI tool, at which point I'll be looking to start expanding on the feature-set and add a UI.

I could use contributors who are comfortable building something Postman-esque as e.g. a VSCode plugin that could take advantage of the file-based nature of my project and make it more approachable for the masses.
