vim-rest-console[0] has been my Postman alternative for years. It basically wraps curl and makes it super easy to make different requests from a single text file. Can even write YAML and have it converted to JSON before being sent in the body. Really great tool

Neovim users, you may not need Postman
Been using vim-rest-console to request web services or an elasticsearch cluster.

Tried to use vim as a REST client. What do I miss?
Been using vim-rest-console for a while. You can set variables, cURL options and enable http headers to get result highlighting.
- rest.nvim - phenomenal but buggy plugin

Use neovim as REST API Client
That's pretty cool. I've been using vim-rest-console for ages for this type of thing, but looking at this, maybe I should just roll my own, since that project seems to be unmaintained at this point.

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.

Bruno: Open-Source IDE for Exploring and Testing APIs
There is also https://kreya.app, which has more features, but is closed-source

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/

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.
