httpyac VS Kreya

There's also https://httpyac.github.io/ which has both standalone CLI and VS Code extension versions – might be interesting to explore.

Here is the github repo for httpyac [1]. Not sure why it's not part of the httpyac org that hosts the site.

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://hurl.dev/

- https://recipeui.com/

- https://kreya.app/

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.
