Postman, insomnia etc stand solid in API testing market. Let them be. But the very idea behind Postwoman was to have an alternative open source platform where developers like me could share thoughts on improving the platform as well as collaborate with people with same interest. I believe every technology should be available for free of use whether its for a single dev or for an enterprise level team. Postwoman will be free and always transparent.

Open source is definitely a good thing! 👏🏻 There are so many FOSS tools out there that we take for granted.

I am cautious about the name though. Gender equality is more important than ever in tech, and change is finally starting to happen. As others have mentioned on this thread, though, this seems more like a terse gender equality statement than an open source alternative. Perhaps the name will help it spread, but it also may get you into legal troubles, so I would encourage you to look into that (especially if this takes off).

Anyway, great stuff, nice to see an alternative option out there.

Glad you liked it. I need support from all to help me build a better, open, and transparent platform.
