Insomnia is getting worse and worse and I’m worried it won’t be better.

What is the problem with insomnia?

They recently introduced an account requirement, which is a no-go for me.

You can just use normal .http files. There’s support in all jetbrains products, vs code, visual studio, jetbrains even wrote a cli tool for it. blog.jetbrains.com/…/http-client-tools-everywhere…

The nice thing about http files is that you’re never going to be locked into some company’s standard. They’re literally all just plain text files.

MS is trying to create a standard. github.com/dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs/issues/29431

There’s also httpyac.github.io though I’ve never heard of anyone using it.

Anyway, moving away from these proprietary separate HTTP/REST call products is a good thing. Postman really led the enshittification in this area.
