> I don't know a single developer who actually uses it anymore

I have no need for it, but there's one company I work with and all of their developers still use it. What do you do/recommend instead?

Not the person you asked, but Bruno <https://www.usebruno.com/> is a good alternative (so far).

Definitely a "good" alternative.

Insomnia has enshittified over the past few years too, its original author started https://yaak.app/ and it's pretty alright for most of my Postman-relevant use. Not as heavy on automation or API-documentation, but for testing endpoints it's been great.

Hey thanks for sharing the APIs You Won't Hate Link! I'm one of the cofounders of the community. I've had a good time with Bruno, personally. Being git-enabled is a big plus.

If you've got other suggestions, I'd love to give them a look!

I used to use it but then we added Swagger UI to our APIs so now there's no need.

There are loads of alternatives now, I use yaak, but you could just ask an agent to create one for you in 20 minutes
