Bruno HTTP client, offline alternative to Postman/Insomnia (usebruno.com)

insomnia just enshittified itself and requires cloud login like postman, and force upgrades you from the old version even if you disable updates. this blocked me at work today.

this client looks great, wanted to boost it here in case anyone else got screwed by Insomnia this morning.

What about Hopscotch?

I saw that too, but I couldn’t tell if it was a community or corporate backed thing; I also don’t like that it’s only available through a browser (I know Bruno is Electron, but having a separate desktop app is nice to me)

At minimum Hoppscotch sells some kind of Enterprise Edition https://docs.hoppscotch.io/documentation/self-host/enterprise-edition/getting-started

I don’t know the details, but I’ve just gotten burned too much. Bruno seems genuinely fully libre, no bs, so I’m hoping that it gets more traction.

Thanks for letting me know! My spouse showed me Hopscotch but I haven't used it yet.
