  • Postman is limiting local collection runner to 25 runs for basic plans
    If you have macos I highly recommend rapidAPI https://paw.cloud postman is just to heavy for simple requests.. - Source: Hacker News / 29 days ago
  • Have been asked to build an API. Been using curl commands to query my current build. Are there other methods of querying that I should try and make available for the final product?
    I use rapidapi to test, for delivering to the customer I would give good docs and curl examples or swagger. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago
  • Report: More Developers Use Linux Than a Mac
    There are tons and tons of small utilities that are great for developers such as Sip, TextSniper, ProxyMan, RapidAPI etc. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
  • Show HN: Ezy – open-source gRPC client, alternative to Postman and Insomnia
    Pretty happy with Paw (https://paw.cloud, macOs) also supports gRPC. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • Show HN: Restfox – A web based HTTP client inspired by Insomnia and Postman
    Switched away from Postman to a native Mac app and my RAM couldn't be happier (https://paw.cloud). - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
  • Over 100 project ideas for developers learning any new programming language
    What if there was a way to load requests for a project from a variety of spec files and easily make those requests? Like a CLI version of Postman or Paw. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago
  • Web client to test your REST APIs
    Better than Postman? Clearly you’re talking about Paw. https://paw.cloud. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago
  • Stress Testing with cURL
    There are plenty of tools for stress testing, read RapidAPI, paw, SoapUI, Postman, rest-assured, JMeter and so on! I'm sure they are amazing, however that's all big and heavy, slow, sometimes paid tools! - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
  • Show HN: Kreya, a Postman Alternative
    If you’re on a Mac, I can recommend Paw (https://paw.cloud) - they have a native client that is super fast, provides great features and advanced dynamic values, and is just a joy to use. Don’t know about the GraphQL story, however. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
  • Are there any lesser-known tools you use a lot in your work?
    Paw for a REST client and quickly sharing projects with teams. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago
  • Top tools to help you stay productive as a developer
    Another alternative you might want to look into is Paw – it’s a paid tool, and only available for macOS, but it has everything most people would need. The design is simplistic and modern, my only gripe is that it is so feature rich that it has a bit of a learning curve, and some basic actions felt a bit buried in the UI. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

  • Which API Platforms like Postman are MacBook Pro Programmers using?
    Have to agree Insomnia is great, could also give Paw a look, I've used it in the past and was impressed https://paw.cloud/. - Source: Reddit / 11 months ago
  • Convert curl commands to code in several languages
    I use Paw[1] for this, which is obviously a lot more powerful by allowing me to easily toggle and/or modify query params, headers, edit body as structured JSON/XML, etc. Probably doable in other API clients like Insomnia[2], too.

  • A brief reflection on Mac software stagnation
    It’s not the focus of the article—which is clearly intended to narrowly focus on the current state of macOS UI APIs—so I can’t fault it for having no mention of Electron. But it’s hard not to see a huge Electron-shaped hole in the picture painted. At least for my usage, nearly all of my dailyish use apps are either: - built in (Finder, Activity Monitor, Reminders) - macOS native but get little benefit from that... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
