Alternative to postman, that's fully local and syncs to git easily. Unlike hoppskotch and insomnia that are free, but offer paid sync, Bruno just works in git. Unlike others, it doesn't dump JSON that's hard to diff, but has its own easily diffable format. You can share your collections in your existing git, with your existing accounts and PRs.
Thanks for posting this! I did a lot of API work in Python last fall and I was just using curl because, as far as I could tell, none of the other clients (Postman, hoppskotch, insomnia etc) were fully offline.
Bruno looks fantastic and it is only $9 USD for a preorder license right now. That is a pretty good deal to support this work.
We recently stumbled upon Bruno and it's been great so far. Our team has been exploring alternatives to Postman, and Bruno's recent updates on Oauth2 made it an obvious choice. I hope that more people start using Bruno and contribute to its development.

I'm a fan of this idea. I hope we see more attempts to make open source sustainable while still keeping the product accessible like this project.
All these clients miss something I really want, Protobuf support for regular HTTP/S requests, they all pretty much have Protobuf stuff already from implementing GRPC support
