any Insomnia alternatives which are not Postman? I need rest and graphql support.
Insomnia is getting worse and worse and I'm worried it won't be better.

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. https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2023/07/04/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. https://github.com/dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs/issues/29431

There’s also https://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.

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