Shout out to Postman who this week decided to depreciate their local (secure) credential storage scratchpad, to force people to use their API and store everything on their cloud platform

Postman got flagged as no longer safe to use on corporate hardware after this. Sounds like it’s time to go back to using curl for everything.

Wow, as someone who has been a happy Postman customer this fucking blows. Are there any good forks?

Try Insomnia. It is pretty neat.

I love insomnia. Switched from postman a while ago, haven't looked back.

For the VS Code enjoyers, there's the Thunder Client extension. It's pretty good but I hate that you can't commit your queries on the free tier anymore
