Postman became way too cluttered for me in the last few months. I prefer Paw now. Worth every euro.

Heyy Liyas!
I wonder why u got rid of the name "Postwoman"
I thought it was well chosen as it benefits from the popularity of postman.

Insomnia also looks great, I'm using it and it's been great for developing in multiple environments (currently 5)

Oeh and it looks nice!

Awesome, I did hear Postman is working on re-introducing the chrome app again, which would be really great.

What's your opinion on Insomnia?

Yeah Paw is beautiful indeed.

I use Insomnia as well but more for short, independent requests where I don't need any project structure. But maybe I'll take a closer look, it has really evolved in the last few months.

Never heard of Paw before on their website they say "The most advanced API tool for Mac" so they must be the best then? 😁 I have been using Postman and Insomnia is Paw really that good compared to those two?
