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:

Ended up falling back to cURL and shell history for REST stuffs a lot of the time.
