Not yet. It's at a very early stage.

And yet it pretty much has 80% of the value that Postman provided to me.

There is some missing polish (like missing utilities in scripts or buggy drag-and-drop) and a couple bigger things like no authorization schemes or code export, but the killer thing it has over pretty much all the competition is the JS glue code AND first-class VCS support. Even insomnia had garbage-tier glue code support, something that was very much missing coming from Postman.

Great work!

Yup, the JS glue code is something that I am very proud of. You can install any npm package via package.json. Require them inside your scripts and it just works.

In every other tool, they treat a collection like something that can be modified only via GUI. In Bruno, its more of a developer mindset. Even if you don't have Bruno GUI, you can open it in an editor and make changes to it - just like code

External npm package installation is unique to Bruno and afaik no other tool has this.

Yes Auth is a big task that I am working on. Glad to see that some folks use scripts and directly implement oauth2 https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/issues/178

Many users are surprised when they find this capabilty, It opens up a lot of possibilities - https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/issues/233#issuecomment-17...
