For me, I've been doing a lot of Web API work lately, so Postman has been invaluable in testing my code. It lets you build client-side requests in many formats and keeps track of them all for later use.

I find Insomnia to be easier to use. I needed to read the docs once and after that everting just made sense for me.
With Postman I more frequently had to google my way through the bit more advanced features.
Passionate about solving problems since 2012! I'm a full stack web developer with experience in AWS, TypeScript and React. Looking for new opportunities!
I think the advantage is that is web-based, unlike Postman which you have to install.
I've tried to use it but it can't really replace Postman, but maybe they'll eventually make it good enough. It's open source.

After I discovered REST Client for VSCode I stopped visiting Postman often.
I don't have to switch tabs anynore...😊🤩
Postman used to be my go to rest client, but after a friend of me suggested Insomnia I don't see myself going back.
Definitely love insomnia. Use it pretty frequently.
Same. I find Insomnia a lot faster and easier to work with pretty much haven't touched postman since I switched over to it.
Thank you for the recommendation, looks amazing - will try as soon as I get to work
Wow, a cure for my sleepless nights 😊
Thanks Tore! That's another one I never knew about.
Everyone is so helpful here on DEV.
What does Insomnia better than Postman?

Not sure why I'd use that over Postman though 🤔

I see, I tried it and I definitely prefer Postman over it. Open source is a plus, but not more than function :)
Awesome!
Never heard of it, but I just went there and it looks great.
I love the name too. 😊
Thanks Ben, I learn something new everyday!
