I stopped using Postman when it magically started connecting to a central server for… nothing useful, really. I have no idea why people would design software this way, especially a development tool that should work with any web server, under any network condition (including fully offline against localhost).

Now I just have a Makefile with a bunch of curl invocations, or Python tests with requests to match against expected responses.

tried it but had some buggy interface when i used it full-time earlier this year. (albeit i work in a slow vm)

it might have changed now but it did not support grpc endpoints, which was a dealbreaker for me. but definitely appreciate the project and i hope it reaches core feature parity soon.
