| My experience: 1) Receive popup asking if I want to install the latest version (no warning of the consequences of doing so) which I accept 2) Be greeted by a 'sign in' screen as well as a new Scratchpad icon which doesn't contain any of my projects/collections/requests.. at this point I believe all my data has been wiped (and it probably would've been if I had uninstalled the app when I downgraded instead of overwriting the existing one) 3) Find comment in GitHub saying I can recover my data by downgrading to https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/releases/tag/core%402023.5.... and update Preferences not to automatically download and install updates 4) Look for alternatives/wait for community fork It's a shame because I have promoted your product to over a hundred classmates/coworkers/friends that were previously using Postman/HTTPie/curl.. even if you didn't financially benefit from my use then it also didn't cost you anything, and I provided a lot of free conversions (some of whom might be using your cloud solutions, no idea).. At least version 2023.5.8 is almost perfect so I'll probably be happy with using that for decades if no better alternative appear.. only downside is that the generated code snippets are kinda shitty (especially for golang, and some obvious languages missing) and I guess I won't be benefiting from improvements made there. -- A couple of ideas I would personally pay for with the local version of Insomnia: - Create my own code snippets (so I don't need to rewrite code generated from your Generate Client Code). - Ability to create HTTP Request templates so you don't need to duplicate existing ones (which you can't do across collections as well). Have more but I guess it would be a waste of time since you seem fully committed to your choice of violence ^_^ |
But if you only have one collection, Scratch Pad is still local only. So you can keep using Insomnia on Scratch Pad, still get product updates and it’s free.
