I'm the creator of Insomnia and I'd love to hear your feedback if you try it out! I'm still a novice to GraphQL, so I'd like to make sure that it accommodates all use cases.

I've been using Insomia for a while, and really, really like it (hence why I submitted this post here :D).

The GraphQL support looks good, and will try it out with our backend.


Awesome, thanks for posting :)

Be sure to submit any issues you may have via Slack/GitHub/Email


I think as long as it's good or better than GraphIQL, you've got an advantage.


Cool. Insomnia is quite good. I prefer it over Paw (for MacOS only) because it is cross platform and I only want to learn one tool that works on both Mac and Linux.

Thanks for all the hard work!


Glad to hear it. Thanks for the kind words!


Hey simple question: mobile now... does this support sending auth headers per request?


Yep!


Just tried it. I LOVE IT! Great work!


What's the difference between using this and using graphiql?


Lots, actually. Since Insomnia is a full-featured HTTP testing tool, you can use all other Insomnia features with GraphQL like setting custom headers, filtering responses with JSONPath, Nunjucks templating, etc.


Timely update as I am learning GraphQL with it and it is simpler now to define the request body.

Great work and keep it up.


Nice! That's exactly why I implemented it (I just learned it too for a side project)


Gregory, thanks for introducing Insomnia to the world and thanks for continuing to make it better!


:)


What a clever domain name.


Thanks!
