Im working on building an alternative to postman and insomnia that doesn’t suck. In particular it will automatically generate OpenAPI specs from live endpoints/data, validate requests/responses against known specs, and generate contract tests on the fly. Everything will work locally WITHOUT a stupid “cloud sync” account.

I’m only a few weeks in, but Insomnia’s complete f*ckup just days after I started really proved I’m on the right track!

Hoping to get a simple site setup next week, the day job has been exhausting recently…

Cloud sync is fine with me, but required cloud sync is so annoying when i download an app for local testing and it forces a login before i can even use it. Definitely interested
