Thank you for posting here, and also for Bruno... I'll be giving it a shot in the coming days, as I only learned about it when I read this post.

Hi Annop. Thanks for sharing this looks like a good alternative to Postman. I see the company is based out of India (awesome) but wanted to know if the company has gone through the steps needed to sell to teams in the healthcare industry in the US/UK i.e.) HIPPA, SOX2, PCI, GDPR, etc.…

Once you take control of customer's data, there's a whole litany of due diligence that must considered, and often at considerable cost.

    While I agree with you and understand that the data is local only, we can only use tools approved by the company. I would like to suggest that my team take Bruno for a 3 – 6 month test drive (since Postman was unable to check the boxes) but cannot without approval….

> An API client is not venture scale. Your link makes sense, and I believe you. Have struggled with similar issues. But who knows what the future will bring?

I don't think there is.
