I also created a music player because I dislike the shuffle algorithm in Spotify.
And I have created a travel app for my family to provide public transport route suggestions, offline maps and reminders.
My Postman/Insomnia alternative is open-source for the public now: https://github.com/sunny-chung/hello-http
Bruno is Postman-like. It only saves when user clicks "Save" explicitly, which I would always forget and causing data loss. Personally I like Insomnia's style more. It saves modification immediately, which is adopted in my application.
My application also features multiple request templates per API, which I could not find an equivalent in existing HTTP client softwares.
Bruno did have something shining which mine does not address yet -- it allows collaboration over git.
Please correct if I am wrong.
Users can also learn how application protocols operate on HTTP wires through this software.
Images and videos describing this software are available in the project website: https://sunny-chung.github.io/hello-http/
I created this project because my favourite HTTP client softwares all go to cloud and requiring an account to use, also the major bugs were not addressed, e.g. a request collection is deleted unexpectedly by opening a drop down menu.
Please let me know if there is anything missing. This is my first opensource application project.
