If you're a Mac user, check out Paw (https://paw.cloud/).

Paw is _beautiful_ but it has no GraphQL tooling at all, I think? (Just native POST requests etc.)

(Unless there's a beta you're using?)

I use Insomnia but I am quite keen to start building myself a local-cloud-based toolset so I can reduce my reliance on a single machine, so Hoppscotch looks interesting.

Paw kind of supports GraphQL. It doesn’t offer any kind of hints for field types or auto-complete features, but you can use it to make GraphQL calls.

Great. They don't mention this on the main website but I hadn't spotted it in the blog until now -- thanks for this.

I mean... GraphQL is over HTTP pretty much[1]? Any HTTP client will support GraphQL. Is there something I'm missing with this exchange?

Hoppscotch and other gQL clients allow introspection on the GraphQL schema so you get a API reference out-of-the-box. Makes it super easy to write queries and mutations.
