insomnia just enshittified itself and requires cloud login like postman, and force upgrades you from the old version even if you disable updates. this blocked me at work today.

this client looks great, wanted to boost it here in case anyone else got screwed by Insomnia this morning.

if i wasn't a terminal person, this looks ideal! no reinventing the wheel for lock-in's (read business model) sake...

the only thing i don't like here is their custom bru format. json, yaml or any other standardised markup fit their manifesto better as well imo

Yeah, I’m annoyed by this as I’m looking to script a rudimentary Bruno->postman tool, so I won’t be blocked at work on Monday. means I need to dig into their tooling.

they have an internal bru2json method that is used when exporting a collection into a single file, so I wonder what the benefit is keeping it in the proprietary format at all. maybe it makes it a bit easier to edit by hand, which is a supported use case, but there’s JSON tooling to enable good autocompletes/schemas iirc

EDIT: I has made script (very wip) https://github.com/wtpisaac/bruno2postman

Oh, share your script if you will, please!

If I get it minimally working (aka basic HTTP request and headers able to export), I will upload it to GitHub and reply to you with a link.
