I liked the demo actually. But it's scary that they would have access to all personal details. But then Google already has access to all my data - via Gmail and my phone (android) Humane clearly appears to be a category creator in the

Going through the nue the tldr I got is "bring back simple html friendly declarative directives (hello AngularJS)" Nice to see people trying to push boundaries Nue might not be a great option for building large scale web apps; it

forks are hard, but I wish you the best.

forks are harder to maintain (specially when the original is still active) i wish them luck. prolly the best approach for people who want to use insomnia is to downgrade and keep using an older version.

happy user of bruno here, love the project and the local only file based approach (no cloud bullshit-have had enough of it) looks like the app has struck a chord with many folks, seeing a lot of hn posts & discussions in the last week a

To put things into perspective MS bought "GitHub" (which has a monopoly on oss hosting) in 2018 for 7.5b and Postman (a gui client) is at 5.6b. mind-bogglingly insane. I'd love to be enlightened on why is postman valued so mu

that rings true. and devs dont usually pay for dev tools. the only way I see them having any success is if they gain significant market adoption however I applaud the effort trying to innovate in the saturated field. Almost every alternativ
