Show HN: I created Postwoman, an online, open-source API request builder

I suppose it's useful for APIs with permissive CORS headers. Maybe there's also some way to run it locally as a separate app with SOP disabled?

Maybe something like:

  $ chromium-browser --disable-web-security --user-data-dir="/tmp" --kiosk https://liyasthomas.github.io/postwoman/

Unrelated, meta note: why does indiehackers need a separate interstitial splash screen, visible for ~4-5 seconds to load a simple article page?

Then you're launching a second chromium instance and practically recreating Electron.

Yes, indeed. Sort of defeats the point of Postwoman being more performant..

Still, this seems safer than the various extensions that have been recommended in order to disable the SOP. I'd rather the user's data wasn't on the line.

Right, so I don't see any reason why I would ever want to use this tool when far superior alternatives (like postman) exist.
