For what it's worth, I use Insomnia every day with some pretty large requests and I've never had an issue with it.

With this, VSCode, Slack & Boostnote - a good portion of my daily work is done in Electron apps and I can't say I'm itching to switch to native alternatives.

Definitely appreciate how people have issues with it, but it doesn't seem like it's going away and hopefully will only get better.

Slack is a huge hog on my system, but I have more than 2 channels(?) on my slack
srsly. If I let slack run for a couple weeks, it will easily grab several GB of memory. That is insane.
Hit Command+R to refresh Slack and it'll release any memory it was accidentally holding onto. It's basically a page refresh.
