I’m a bit late to the party here because I haven’t needed Postman for a while, but how is it okay that now we have to LOG IN TO POSTMAN and send our API requests to them for them to store on their own cloud?

I’ve been out of web dev a couple of years myself and was confused that HTTPie (my favorite curl alternative for terminal testing) now had a very Postman-like GUI interface. Apparently, the need to continually update everything means that old good apps like Postman get enshittified and old simple tools like httpie get turned into bloated apps.
Seems like Microsoft got really interested in postman in 2022, that’s probably when the issues really started. MS wants everything you do to be in the cloud.
I’m so sick of it: Apparently a software is considered “dead” if it doesn’t get weekly updates. This is unsustainable. IMO there’s usually a point when a software is actually complete until some lib breaks or so. Especially with the UNIX mantra that every program should just have one purpose.

I had the same thing when I was getting back into webdev. A httpie UI what?
Thankfully the cli tool seems unchanged so far.
