Just recently fired Postman back up and it's so different now. Finding it difficult to find my way around when all I want to do is just send a request.

I haven't used it as much in the last 3 years just because I've mostly been building APIs that expose a Swagger UI, but I definitely remember the UI being much simpler back then.

Have y'all moved on to different solutions? If so which ones are you using?


EDIT

I've been going through the suggestions, here's the list of suggestions in order of most times suggested or number of points on the comment:

This kind of thing led me to disabling feature updates on my older Postman installs, and switching to Insomnia as a replacement on systems that don't have Postman

It has a similar look to the classic postman. I'm just hoping they don't go the same way postman did if they end up with big investors and ridiculous valuations.
