This is nice! I am enjoying it so far. Earlier, I was trying to find Postman alternatives and I went back to Postman because of UI quirks. I found couple of issues with RecipeUI

Following is the curl command I got from Postman export

   curl --location --globoff 'https://api.fly.io/prometheus/my-fly-app/api/v1/query?query=count(fly_instance_filesystem_blocks{app%3D~%22%5Ety-.*-.*%24%22%2C%20mount!%3D%22%2F%22}%20*%20fly_instance_filesystem_block_size{app%3D~%22%5Ety-.*-.*%24%22%2C%20mount!%3D%22%2F%22}%20%3E%201500000000)%20by%20(app)' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer fo1_don_worry_this_is_changed_CjXvYYmWQIhDJE' \
    --header 'User_Key: avinassh' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data '{"query": 12}'

I could not import this in RecipeUI, says 'Could not parse CURL' it works fine on my terminal. I manually built this URL in RecipeUI, then I took the curl export and pasted in the URL bar. It did import now, but the data is truncated, my query param is just:

   {
      "query": "count(fly_instance_filesystem_blocks{app"
    }

Another problem: I want a low friction way to create new tab / Session. I could not find any keyboard shortcuts and also, no shortcuts to switch between sessions

Why were you looking for a Postman alternative? I thought it was open-source.

I'm using Thunder Client in VS Code at the moment, but if my needs become more complicated I don't want to invest in anything douchey.

I'm not sure if it's open, but it's trying hard to sell you on Postman Inc's cloud collaboration products.

Not the OP, but for me the big pain points with Postman are

* Sync-ing with an OpenAPI spec is one-and-done. If new stuff is added to the spec, you have to start a new collection and throw away all your existing work (or in practise add the new APIs by hand)

* Many times I need to execute a sequence of requests to do anything useful. For example, I might need to get a list of objects, scan the list and pick the one i want to interact with, take the ID, copy-paste it to a different request, etc. Some requests I want to interact with I might need to grab 3 or more IDs from different endpoints. It's possible to improve this somewhat with Postman collections but I've always found them to be a lot of effort to set up, flaky, and cumbersome.

Next time I reach for Postman I will give this a go but it's not clear from the demo video if/how it addresses either of these problems.

Thanks. I have been hugely disappointed by the state of OpenAPI tools.

Postman isn't free, it's proprietary and expensive (~19$ per user per month).

I don't use VS Code and didn't try VSC plugins but the FOSS alternatives are not up to the same level of quality of Postman. Hoppscotch (formerly Postwoman) has some bugs. The best tool I know and recommend is HTTPie the Desktop version (or CLI version for CLI lovers). It stills partly open-source, not a free software.
