So, here’s how Hoppscotch happened.

You know the drill. You’re developing an app for a client and you need to test every API...

It looks very good and promising. But I have readability problem of a response object when a light theme is activated. Yellow values on white background are barely seen, have to highlight text to see it. See attached picture.
P.S It looks like I am going to delete Postman from my machine. :)

I just pushed a quick fix for readability problem on light-themes.
Just do a hard refresh Ctrl + Shift + r to update to the latest version and boom! issues is fixed 🔥
(if issues persists, clear cookies and refresh)
Now I even without glasses can read it :) Thanks :)
I'm obsessed with dark theme which why i concentrated on dark themes first. But now I'll work more on theme white mode. Thanks for pinging this. Next priority is light theme. If you'd like to suggest a theme pallet for light theme, shoot a DM, or perhaps a PR? 😌
Fantastic! The UI looks very good. It would be awesome if you add WebSocket support.
And a light theme would be useful as well. Some people like me having trouble with using dark mode in UI. I have some kind of problem with my eyes and UIs looks blurry in dark mode :-(
UPD: Sorry didn't find customization screen before :-)
WebSocket support is already landed from v0.1.0 🎉

Insomnia is the best such tool I've used - insomnia.rest
Postwoman is an online web app. No need to install or update build, because of this, there's no other overhead to system for using a testing tool. Moreover apps such as Postman and insomnia are built with electron which consumes a considerable amount of resources of the system.

Postwoman have multi platform, multi device support. API testing can be done even from your smartphone now.
but why would you do it from a smartphone? the other clients are multi platform too...
Handy feature isn't it?
Is there a suppor for environments? That would be awesome! :)
Pre-request scripts and Environment variables are deployed to production but experimental!
Full list of feature are here: github.com/liyasthomas/postwoman
Usage:
Open Pre-request scripts by clicking the "<>" icon button under request
MethodSet env variables with JavaScript notation:
pw.environment.set("key", "value");inside pre-request script textarea.<<key>>(including double angle brackets) anywhere inside request section as an env varScreenshots:
Other use cases are:
Full information can be found here: github.com/liyasthomas/postwoman/p...
cool. thanks for your work!
I'm thinking of something like environment in postman where you can easily change variables without modifying the request.
Actually this is cooking up! and will be deployed soon.
github.com/liyasthomas/postwoman/i...
wow. will be looking forward to this feature. You're awesome! :)
Glad you liked it! Star the project on GitHub, share among your friends/teams 🙏👽🛸✨
No POSTLGBTQ+? JK. Awesome content!
lol
This is a cool project! Well done! Just one thing though. It is quite difficult to take anyone serious using so many emoji's, especially a developer, especially in github commit messages. Besides my 2 cents, this seems like a fun alternative to postman
I don't think usage of emojis in commit messages limit the project's seriousness. Gitmoji (gitmoji.carloscuesta.me) is a highly appreciated project on GitHub supported by a huge community of devs 🤔
This looks interesting. Is the best way to develop with localhost to use Ngrok? Or is there something that I am missing?
localhost endpoints can be tested by installing a middleware browser extension. Links are in repo's readme.
Okay thanks
Congratulations on 1.0! The UI looks fantastic. I look forward to giving this a try 😃
Glad you liked it! 💜
Looking forward on how Postwoman could ease up your development! Do share among your friends/team ⚡
"I was that guy."
Funny, I always assumed you were a girl...unless you're using "guy" in the gender-agnostic form ;)
Yeah! I've heard this many times before.
i have been following postwomen since the DEV post. How did you fix it ?
We implemented Proxy mode. For requests having CORS issues, go to Settings > Turn on Proxy
That's it. But you don't want to do this at first. We'll prompt you to enable proxy only if the requests requires it. 👽✨
Hey Liyas,
You know, it was much needed. Thanks for giving us a great app. Will be grateful and I will try to contribute to the project as well.
Thats awesome! 🙌🏼
Congrats! I was briefly observing Postwoman when it was first published but didn't feel the urge to switch from Postman. Now then, the 1.0 feature list demands me to give it another spin.
You should look at our roadmap and stuffs we pipelined for future 🔥👽🛸
Great to finally meet the man behind the legend!
🙏😌🛸👽
Seems an awesome project, I going to try it out! Btw, Good Article Liyas ! 🦄
Thanks you! ❤️
I shared Postwoman on LinkedIn, glad to see that you're launching it!
Thanks. Let the world know Postwoman exists.
Nice! It seems to have come a long way since i initially checked it out back when you first posted it!
Yes, there's been 650 commits since v0.1.0 🎉
Curious - do you have any concerns around storing potentially sensitive information in local storage? My understanding is that any app can view what is in local storage.
Postwoman is a 100% client side application. PW just works even if you download the entire web page to system and opened from there, there's no client-server data transfer ever happening, except on Proxy mode, which is optional.
We uses
localStoragefor storing the History entries and the current state of request section. We stay compliant on Same origin policy throughout our implementation. Moreover, there's always an option to Clear/Disallow cookies.When I first started working PW, I never wanted to have a Sign-up flow because it somehow seemed to decrease my testing flow. But as the project gained such traction & grew tremendously, having a Sign-in with GitHub/Google and storing data on a GitHub repo is pipelined for future with prime priority.
Well said! 🔥👍
