Ask HN: What are your favorite alternatives to Postman and Insomnia?

1 pointsStriverGuy2y ago3 comments

Looking for good alternatives to local API development tools like Postman and Insomnia.

Postman has gotten bloated and slow, while Insomnia just rolled our the requirement of maintaining an account with the platform to use the tool.

Ideally something light weight, no account needed, and can export/import OAPI specs.

Hoppscotch - https://hoppscotch.io has been a good alternative for my use cases.

REST Client, vscode extension.
