Just recently fired Postman back up and it's so different now. Finding it difficult to find my way around when all I want to do is just send a request.

I haven't used it as much in the last 3 years just because I've mostly been building APIs that expose a Swagger UI, but I definitely remember the UI being much simpler back then.

Have y'all moved on to different solutions? If so which ones are you using?

Insomnia is a bit more like classic postman, though it's kinda heading the same way too.

Ended up falling back to cURL and shell history for REST stuffs a lot of the time.

I think I remember insomnia being a pretty popular alternative when I first picked up Postman. Never gave it a chance but maybe now it's the time to switch.

At least it's open-source, so it's hard for them to destroy the product completely.
