Love it, specially the python scripting engine.

Also, don't listen to those who say things like "soo, like Burp?" (the ones who do it to belittle the effort).

People used to say (and still do) Postman is "just a wrapper around curl", and I was like, "So is Operating systems, they're a wrapper around hardware, and C is a wrapper around assembly, and Python is a wrapper around "I don't want to manage memory, let's make a web app instead", What's your point?" lol Postman is now worth couple of billions btw.

You're doing a great job - keep at it. Ping me if you needed testers (I work in AppSec/Red teaming).

this actually feels like a lightweight feature-rich wrapper, unlike Burp (which I really love btw, not hating on it) which can cause my computer to slow down noticeably with extensions loaded. This is an unfair comparison though, because I derive a lot of value from Burp's BApps and choose to have quite a few of them loaded. The performance hit is worth it to me in this case, but I think it's fantastic to see more lightweight, WYSIWYG (dare I say frugal) alternatives to what's grown into a bulkier tool (Burp). Kind of like XFCE vs GNOME.
