Bruno: Fast and Git-friendly open-source API client (Postman alternative)

This looks great, and less bloated than Postman but after a few seconds of testing the Linux (Snap) version, I noticed the system file browser opens with what is probably an invalid font (all characters appear as squares).

As well, it would be nice to be able to import my rather large postman collections (an vice versa - provide a collection from Bruno to a Postman user).

Looking forward to when I can switch to this full time.

How does the Bruno snap compare to the Postman snap, in terms of startup times?

I know snaps are slow, but the Postman snap takes forever (~16 seconds)

Postman snap works, and works well. It takes about 5-7 seconds to startup. Honestly startup time doesn't matter too much for me. I was there when tapes transitioned to floppies. We learned patience then. But, it also took about 5-7 to see that the file browser is unusable in Bruno so I backed out. I am looking forward to return though when it's fixed and I can create a collection.
