I'm gonna say it, at the risk of begin downvoted to hell, what the is target developer of this kind of HTTP clients? This is the second client I see in a single day and I'm having hard time understanding these apps/utility.

It is not difficult to make HTTP request, there is no need to pay a client to save those requests. What I would gladly pay is a client that makes those requests testable and repeatable in an ergonomic way. HURL come close, but its testing language is quite limited and disappointing.

I'm sorry for being harsh, but the goal should not be making HTTP requests easy. The goal should be making HTTP requests easily testable in an automatic way. That's why I still use Laravel Guzzle, I write requests and test them in programmatic way with a proper testing framework.

It's just personal preference. If you don't see the need for this type of tool in your workflow, you likely aren't the target user. It's very similar to GUI database clients. Sure, you could use the command line, but a lot of people need something more powerful.

I started with a folder of Curl requests / environment variables, but it quickly fell over when I needed more complex logic, OAuth, better organization, visual response previews, or anything else that came with my non-trivial use case.

They’re nice for exploring a new API before programming around it IMO
