+ 1. I just came across it a few months ago after getting fed up with Postman's unintuitive ever-changing UI, etc. So far so good. Easy to store bruno files in a repo to have a nice easy place to go to get test calls

I desperately want to like Bruno, since I think it might not do the same rugpull as Postman and Insomnia.

But the UX is just terrible (for me) or at least has been every time I've tried to start using it more.

I mean, come on, the most basic use of creating a request goes like this:

1. Sorry, can't let you create a request before you create a collection.

2. Sorry, can't let you create a collection before you make a decision on in which path you will be storing all your collections.

3. Sorry, can't let you create a request before you think of a good name for it.

etc.

Like what the heck? This should be just one click to create a new untitled request then fill in the URL and send.

At first I thought this might be growing pains since it was new but every year I try it and it hasn't improved.

+1 also. More than being open source and local, you can import your postman requests. It's almost 1:1.

tried it but had some buggy interface when i used it full-time earlier this year. (albeit i work in a slow vm)

it might have changed now but it did not support grpc endpoints, which was a dealbreaker for me. but definitely appreciate the project and i hope it reaches core feature parity soon.
