I'm seriously impressed with how useful Insomnia has become in my workflow. It goes to show how valuable a well designed user experience can be.

It's not the only available API testing tool, but it's by far the most productive tool to use in my opinion.



If you've tried Postman (https://www.getpostman.com/), how would you say Insomnia is better?


The differences are subtle but I would boil it down to attention to detail. The user experience is excellent.


I agree. The UI is so much better and more streamlined. I was also using Postman before I found this. It's really useful.


Insomnia’s open source. You’d be surprised at how much of a difference this can make, if you’re a developer :)


Insomnia is great for single user.

But for teams, synchronizing their different request. It was a mess with insomnia couple of versions ago.

But the product improves really fast and I won't be surprised in couple of month it will have reproduced most of the strength of Postman.

For now, I'll still stick to postman.


If you could send in any feedback you have on the sync features, that would help a lot! :D
