Not sure if you're referring to Postman or Bruno. The biggest purported benefit of Bruno over Postman is that it saves API request collection files in simple, human-readable text files that are designed to be committed to a source control repo and easily shared, in a way that's not particularly tied to the Bruno app.

The demo video explains in detail: https://youtu.be/b_ctmKlEOXg



I think it was pretty obvious I was referring to Postman.

I don't have time to look at a 15 minute marketing ("BILLION dollar") video. Is it available in text form?

Does Bruno decode e.g. AVRO or protobuf? Connect to a schema server?

What is considered "human readable"? A JSON file like postman?

Could you elaborate what is the benefit of using this tool compared to a REPL/notebook?

Are you affiliated with Bruno?


You are putting up all these hypotheticals as if all the info isn't easily available on Bruno's site, and then declare "I don't have time to watch a 15 minute video". Hint, youtube 2x and transcripts are your friend.

I didn't know about Bruno until I saw this post on HN.


I dont know how to answer this rant. Other than that you missed a chance to convince me.


Why don't you just rtfm? I'm not interested in "convincing" you, you're free to proudly declare that you refuse to read the docs, and you have an odd definition of "rant".

searching for conflicts probably (I don't know you so I might be getting wrong impression from this thread, sorry if that's the case) takes up more of your time than whatever time you save by not doing whatever you deem "inefficient time usage".


So, what exactly was the point of your rant?

You don’t care enough to read the manual, but clearly care enough to ask a bunch of questions that could have easily been answered by yourself with a modicum of effort. The home page even has an example of the file format, is even opening the page too hard of an ask?

Did you just want people to do all the work for you to “convince” a random stranger? In what world is that reasonable?


Not my proudest moment, I will punish myself with a 1 month HN hiatus. (so don't expect an answer)

I guess my take was what was his reason for answering what I initially posted if all he wanted was to RTFM me?


(apologies i did not manage to keep it). Still, sorry for that this thread derailed.
