Hi HN community, Hoppscotch author here. Ask Me Anything - Liyas (https://twitter.com/liyasthomas)

Will you add an Electron version? A browser-based HTTP client is nearly useless for me because of CORS. I couldn't come up with any interesting internal endpoints to even test this with. I thought "Install app" was going to give me an Electron version, but it isn't; it's still the same thing with the same restrictions.

Had a similar issue. You have to use their browser extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hoppscotch-browser.... Click on this extension and add the domain you want to query. Then on Hoppscotch, go to settings and click "use browser extension to send requests."

I was using Altair's desktop app to handle CORS, but may switch to this set-up.

If I create a team and share requests, do I also share passwords and other credentials? If so, where are they stored and how secure is that?

I work for a company with many different project. Is there a workflow where I can save a workspace as one file and save/load it with my project from Git (or any local folder on my computer)?

If you create a feature to host a Docs page in the future, please improve on Postman's.

Theirs lacks key features and introduces bad ones:

1. Locks you into their Collections datamodel. Results in the API being maintained outside OpenAPI generated files because your annotations can't be easily merged with new endpoints. 2. Unable to password protect the API docs, even with a basic password. 3. Unless this changed recently, there is no way to re-order the endpoints or the responses without manually removing and re-adding them! Absurd.

You should try ReadMe :) we do all of that, plus let your APIs play with the API right in the docs. And a billion other cool little features!

Hey! So I tried to import a Postman collection, but the pre-request scripts aren't getting imported. Neither are the sample code snippets. Is this not implemented yet, or is it a problem with the collection (or something I'm doing).

i'm really really curious - how did Hoppscotch get so many github stars? sorry if this is superficial but you've reached a level of stardom very few projects reach and in seemingly very short time.

Not a question, but a complaint. Your machine translated interface falls short of being acceptable. Either give the l10n job to a human, or don't do it at all.

With this being open source, perhaps it'd be better to submit a pull request rather than a complaint?

Can you provide one or more example(s) of translations that aren't great?

The Swedish translation. I had to switch to English to figure out what some buttons did. For example one of the buttons at the button show "Jaktplan" (fighter plane).

Also there are a lot of extra spaces inserted in words with dashes or colons in them and some strings are simply not translated at all.

Your turn: what was the point of asking?

Danke. Fixing typos and other small grammatical problems in open source projects can be a good, easy way for people to get started; so my hope is that by sharing a few of those, you've created the opportunity for someone (maybe me, maybe another observer here) to contribute an improvement to the project. It's also an attempt to maximize the value of your complaint.

Probably just to know what were you talking about if we aren't fluent in any language that looks _weird_ and we couldn't notice it.

i10n is internationalization in which language?
