Are there non-binary versions of Bruno?

https://github.com/usebruno/bruno has the source code. It's a node app so i guess by binary you mean a way to run it without the normal electron wrapper? You should be able to run it standalone though i've never tried it outside it's normal distribution method.

Bruno was supposed to free us from the other bad guy, then they added a subscription too. Fuck Bruno I guess.

I find this funny from people that make their living from $$ from software! Lol

But apart from that Bruno is open source (MIT), you can fork it and have it anyway you want…

The paid option seems just like the traditional open source model of make software free but offer enterprise support. And given that CTOs tent to want to pay for stuff (postman is terrible nowadays but is still picked and paid for) why would Bruno straight up say no to money?

Open-source is about having the whole stuff, not restrictions on "Embed Bruno into your SDLC with deeper Git integration, automation."

What I do resent is the fact that Bruno was a reaction to shitty restrictions from another application, and they did the same thing a few months/years later.

I'm not sure how adding a subscription is 'the same thing'. Postman forced all of your data to be stored in their cloud, and held it hostage for $1,000/user/year.

Bruno seems to charge somewhere between 70-130 dollars user/year for unlocking GUI features. The same features are all accessible via the terminal or IDE.
