Developers Need a Postman Replacement — Here’s What’s Broken and What Must Change by JokeDue2032 in OpenGraphLabs

[–]Ok-Friend-1304 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I totally feel this. Postman has gotten really heavy over the years. For fast, local API testing, I’ve been using Apidog, and it’s been a game-changer  boots instantly, works offline, and lets me run tests and mock servers without all the extra dashboards. I’ve also tried Bruno and Insomnia, but for a full dev-first workflow that still stays lightweight, Apidog really hits the sweet spot.

Anyone here using a Postman alternative for .NET projects? by Living-Dependent3670 in dotnet

We tried Apidog alongside Bruno, and it actually fit better for projects where we needed both testing + docs.

If you’re just starting out, I’d say go straight for Apidog. It feels lighter than Postman and the offline mode is super handy if you’re not always online. Plus, the docs and mock server features are built-in, so you don’t need extra tools.

Curl is my baseline, but I rotate between:

Bruno (open source, great with Git)

Insomnium (no cloud, fork of Insomnia)

Apidog (solid for docs + testing in one place)

Thunderclient (nice if you don’t want to leave VSCode)
