    Especially once a VC gets into the fold.

    We will never take VC funding. We received around 10 inbound reach outs from VCs till date and have denied funding from all of them. We will remain independent and I have written about it in detail here https://www.usebruno.com/blog/bootstrapping

    > I didn't stick with Bruno. I think it was due to not having an equivalent to Postman's pre-request scripts.

    Bruno has come a long way, we support pre-request scripts and a lot more

    > But can it handle oauth2? I had to write a httpie script recently just to test an oauth2 api.

    We have released oauth2 support, some rough edges are being polished

    > Good thing it's open source. Money being involved, I don't have long term hopes for it's openness.

    I understand this is a hard problem. We are fully bootstrapped and independent. We earn money via selling the Golden Edition. We will build more developer products in the long term, and the goal is to make even the golden edition features also open source in the future. In the unlikely case of me going dark (dead/incapacitated to lead the project), I have instructed our small team (2 FT employees) and my family to release our golden edition features too to the community as opensource. I am committed to this cause.

    Some good links where I have discussed about opensource, freedom and monetization

    Alternative to postman, that's fully local and syncs to git easily. Unlike hoppskotch and insomnia that are free, but offer paid sync, Bruno just works in git. Unlike others, it doesn't dump JSON that's hard to diff but has its own format. You can share your collections in your existing git, with your existing accounts and PRs.

    Also has integrated CLI testing.

    He plans to sell GRPC later for money.

    Have you heard of the Bruno project? It's an open-source alternative to subscription-based API testing applications like Postman and Insomnia. It's gaining popularity and deserves more attention. Plus, since it's open-source, users can enjoy full privacy. Check it out at https://github.com/usebruno/bruno.

    Now, I'm looking at trying Bruno, a new tool I heard about. Bruno has all the features you'd want, like support for websockets. What's great about Bruno is it only costs $19 for a one-time payment, which seems like a good deal. I want to see how well it works for me and if it's as good as it sounds. I'm excited to try it out and maybe talk about it later.

    In contrast to Postman, Bruno aims to be an offline-first API client which stores requests in a local folder. You can still collaborate using Git, but everything else happens on your machine. Bruno turns out to be a great solution when you just want to run HTTP requests. It supports a lot of features you might know from Postman or Insomnia (set environment variables, several authentication methods, and scripted tests, to name a few). Looking at the roadmap, the amount of these is only going to increase.
