rivet VS RecipeUI

But now coming to today's tool, let's talk about a topic that comes and goes, but it's always fun to play around with. I'm referring to AI; as you know, I'm not an AI-addicted person, but I like to have my share of fun with it! And a few days ago I came across the program that I am presenting to you today which aims to be very interesting and fun! Rivet, this is the name of the tool of this week, is a visual development environment for AI agents. But in what sense? Well, once you download the software, you will have a drag and drop interface to create a flow of information that can interact with various LLMs, whether it's GPT, Google models, or even Open models like Ollama running locally. It can handle all the classic control flows (if, loop etc.) and can integrate JS functions directly into it or import them from the project where we decide to incorporate it.

When I went looking for alternatives to Insomnia I was pleasantly surprised to see that RecipeUI[1] will let paste in curl commands with various flags etc. and parse those to generate new entries, pretty slick.

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

I recently found this open source postman typed alternative, hadn't had time to really try it yet but the types stuff should help here no?
