Wait, wasn't insomnia supposed to be an open source alternative to postman?


Yeah, but they went the cloud-first enshittification route like a year and a half ago.

I still use Insomnium, a (dead) fork of Insomnia that removed all the telemetry on a version of Insomnia just before this nonsense occurred.


Then Bruno positioned itself as the fix for the enshittification, and then did it itself.
