While I applaud the effort, this can't be more than just a toy until it drops browser sandbox like Postman or Insomnia did. You can't deal with CORS, browser hides cookies from you, applies HSTS and other cross-origin restrictions. Good luck!

So build a client that doesn't rely on Electron.

That's was my primary aim, but as you've noticed project Postwoman had gained momentum in GitHub and we rewrote a-z into Vue Nuxt which made it faster, lighter and efficient than any other projects in its category.

Oru kind supporters brought domains postwoman.net and postwoman.io which are currently serving GitHub pages directly and will be published to the world for free on Postwoman v1.0 stable release. We need support from guys like you for the next big thing to happen. Postwoman will be a fully transparent open source project, free of cost for all.

Now hold your unicors, there, how sure are you that those restrictions aren't features?
