Yes, bloated cuz electron, obviously, but I'd say it's a far shot to call postman "bare bones".
curl is bare bones, not postman 😂 -
@CoreFusionX I guesssss, but still
the fact that my add-on heavy Firefox starts up faster than a non-signed-in Postman, irks me
also, fuck Electron :v -
@CoreFusionX maybe "Has a simple job and most likely is just a wrapper for a library it didn't implement itself" is better
-
@CoreFusionX It is kind of a simple system. It may perform HTTP post and get, plus required headers and form data/json body, but the maker doesn't need to program that, it's a simple abstraction above the already existing library. Most programming languages already have excellent library for that.
Then there's the additional feature where we can add, edit, and delete our data/API calls, which is also what I would call bare-bone, and learned by everyone during their first year as programmer.
If it's made as native app instead of Electron, it can probably use less than 10 MB of disk space and less than 50 MB of RAM.
Electron should die. -
DEVil6669172yWhat makes Postman even worse is the fact which it keeps pushing its stupid "cloud" which makes so easy to spill critical secrets around.
