Postman is a monster. It's a pain to use. Classic example of feature overload. Also, they don't have an automatic release channel on Linux. It keeps bugging you to update to latest release and then sends you to page to download a tarball which you have to extract and replace existing install with. Just provide a snap package already.

I was using Insomnia quite happily until it became really resource hungry and CPU started to spike because of it. May be I should give it another try.

On second thought, the features are probably not overloaded but the UI is very cluttered which makes it appear so.

is the UI for Linux same as on Mac or Windows apps?

Thanks for sharing your feedback, we'll forward it to Postman. Did you use Paw? What is your experience with it? https://paw.cloud/

AFAIK, Paw is macOS exclusive so I've not tried it.

Does Insomnia offer a function of sharing the collections of APIs to collaborate, coming back to the OP? :)

AFAIR, you could export and import your environment as JSON. I've shared it with team mates like that. It did not have a team-sync feature back when I used it. It might now. I don't know.
