"request builder"? This makes it sound like some dsl library for making request
This looks really nice, but does anyone know if it’s collection data is compatible with Postman/if it can at least import Postman collections? The biggest productivity boost for my team was getting a collection checked into our repo and maintaining it when the API changes, the problem with that of course being Postman lock-in.
Hey, author here. Currently you can sign in with GitHub/Google to sync History, Collections and Environment variables. But syncing with a Git repo isn't available yet. This is one of the priority request in our roadmap and internally we're working on this feature. There's an active issue to track its progress.
What is its value proposition over Insomnia [1] or Postman[2]?

[1]: https://insomnia.rest

[2]: https://www.postman.com

I'm probably going to try this out for its websocket support. I use Postman, they've had a long-standing open issue to add it with no ETA/progress: https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/40.... Haven't used Insomnia but they don't mention websockets anywhere in their docs so I assume they don't support it either: https://support.insomnia.rest/search?collectionId=&query=web...
Author here. AMA.
Is there a comprehensive comparison between Hoppscotch and Postman?
There's no list of comparison. In terms of features Postman has lot of features. Hoppscotch (as of now) only has essential features. Hoppscotch is a community driven project, new features are being added on every week.

Hoppscotch is a web app, you can spin up a API test from your smartphone / tablet on the go. It's an open source project, you can make infinite collections, environments and sync them across devices. Apart from REST APIs, Hoppscotch has WebSocket, GraphQL, SocketIO, SSE, MQTT, API Documentation generator etc.

Thanks for taking the time to answer! Much appreciated.
