It used to considered vile that drug dealers tried to hook their users and force dependence... turns out that they were just ahead of the curve.
It brought to mind this quote:
“It’s only software developers and drug dealers who call people users,”
From a recent article that came through the feed:

I hate it, for myself I don’t use it but when having to share API stuff I have to use it because that’s what other people understand.
Good for postman business, bad for everyone.
But mine is still working locally now. If it stops working locally, what even is the point anymore?

I haven't used postman or insomnia in a while since they went to the cloud, so I could just be missing it, but that's also a non-starter for me.
Also, it’s an amazing app.
Sincere question, been studying lots of OSS commercial licensing and always wonder what works in which context
Yes, it's a good-faith license. The license doesn't even apply to the OSS version (only prebuilt binaries).
The bet is that super fans will pay for it in the early days and, as it gets adopted by larger companies, they will pay in order to comply with the legalities of commercial use. So far, it's working! The largest company so far is 34 seats, with a couple more in the pipe!
It makes good sense because companies actually have an absurd amount of liability to you if they violate your agreement.
how would someone use this in a project that operates within VS Code Remote where the source sits on a remote server and isn't physically on the file system.
I'm not quite sure why Yaak wouldn't work in this case. It it because your running server wouldn't be accessible to Yaak, running on your system?
Can you provide clarity on is a commercial license is needed. The license appears to be MIT but the yaak.app website gives the impression a license is required, even stating as such in FAQ.

Thus, we stick with hurl.
QA seems to stick to robot framework instead. Some use Bruno.

It's great. You can even paste a curl command into it and it will automatically convert and format it. You can then use the Copy button to convert your changes back to curl.
Lately I've just been using a Phoenix LiveBook notebook, with the Req package loaded into it. I can make requests, do arbitrary transforms on the data, and generally stay right at home in a language I like and understand
If you don't know elixir, I'm sure jupyter or some other notebook system would do just as nice of a job

Run this:
yapi -c ./users.yapi.yaml
With this file: # users.yapi.yaml
# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://pond.audio/yapi/schema
url: http://localhost:3000
method: GET
path: /api/users
query:
select[name]: true
select[tag]: true
limit: 10
Or just `yapi` to use fzf to find configs.
