Show HN: Hurl – Run and test HTTP requests with plain text, curl and Rust
There's also dot-http[0] which aims to provide a similar interface to what IntelliJ's requests feature has. I've used it a few times. It's a shame development has died, so hopefully Hurl can take its place.

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.
