Here is the main Github issue with a lot of context: https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/issues/6577
It was later turned into a discussion here: https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/discussions/6590
However, the discussion was closed so newer issues have been created.
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.

Yes! I plan to maintain it long-term! I will be rolling out some feature improvements and updates these few weeks.
I still think Kong did a good job in crafting the product. I started using Insomnia in my previous company 3 years ago and our team loved it.
What happened recently felt a little bit like the Unity fiasco (of course, in a much smaller scale). Though as a user I would say Kong had taken a bad turn, I'm still grateful to them for open-sourcing such a fantastic product.
One of the reasons I forked it was because I've read the code and I think it's quite nicely written overall (but unfortunately things like nedb that was used is no longer maintained https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb so it's probably wise to swap out at some point)
Added API Dash (an open source API client alternative) - https://github.com/foss42/apidash
