I would be tempted to try it if you could name a few reasons it would be better than Postman.

I know the "if it works for you, stick with it" saying, but I would really like to give it a go if it would have better features I may not be aware about!

Congrats on the app and being able to work on it full-time! That's a big achievement!

I've been wanting to write a blog post on this for a long time, but have failed to come up with a concise way to describe the benefits. I usually say something like "Insomnia is better at being an HTTP client because that's all it does". If you use the less-HTTP-client-like feature of Postman like automated testing or mocking, and enjoy it, then Postman is the tool for you. However, if you don't need those features, Insomnia offers a better experience (my opinion) by means of a simpler, nicer, and easier interface. Oh, and Insomnia is also open source :)

Postman-lite.

Postman's links would replace the response of your request instead of opening in a new tab/window and you would lose the entire response body. This was incredibly annoying and caused me look for alternatives. It came down to Paw or Insomnia and Insomnia was free. The user experience is _far better_ than Postman's. For example, it saves API requests/responses, so you can always see what the last X requests/responses were. Most of my team has moved from using Postman to Insomnia now.

I've found that Postman doesn't always play very nicely with CORS because it's limited to what Chrome is willing to let it to, Insomnia doesn't have this problem at all so I've made the jump
