The Pains of API Testing
As a developer who regularly works with APIs, Postman has been the go-to choice for testing, documenting, and...

Love this! I use Bruno everyday 🐶
Bruno gang 🐶🙌
lol i've wanted to ditch postman so many times tbh - always feels like a fight with my own pc. bruno sounds solid but i always wonder if the new tools can hang over the long haul. you ever get worried you swap too quick?
Haha, I totally get that — Postman can feel like a wrestling match some days 😅
I had the same concern about switching too quickly too. What really surprised me about Bruno was how effortlessly it covered everything I was already using in Postman — collections, environment variables, scripting — but with a lighter, local-first setup. Beyond the short learning curve (which was quick and intuitive!), I haven't regretted the transition.
One important thing to consider when switching is whether it's for individual or team use. Teams might need to align on developer workflows, and some may still rely on the cloud sync or collaboration features that Postman offers over Bruno.
But hey — if Postman already feels like a pain, why not give Bruno a try for a week and see how it feels?
Great guide shared with teams at work!
Glad to hear! Hope it was helpful for your teams 🙌
When I want to test one single endpoint, I just simply go to the Network tab on Chrome, right click on "Copy as cURL (bash)", and paste it into a Terminal. I'm a "terminal Git user," so I keep one opened all the time. Faster than opening Postman.
Totally get that—terminal + cURL is super quick! I sometimes do the same with Firefox's Edit and Resend feature, which lets me tweak and replay requests without even leaving the browser. That said, I still reach for Bruno when I want a cleaner UI with history and collections, without the Postman bloat.
Ha ha, I am a fan of this too in the Network tab ;-) #WebBrowser
I love finding smaller tools that just get out of my wayprobably gonna try Bruno myself next time my workflow starts feeling heavy.
That's exactly how I felt! Bruno is great because it just stays out of the way and lets you focus on the work without the distractions. I think you'll enjoy the simplicity when you give it a try. Definitely let me know what you think once you do!
