I've been out of web dev a couple of years myself and was confused that HTTPie (my favorite curl alternative for terminal testing) now had a very Postman-like GUI interface. Apparently, the need to continually update everything means that old good apps like Postman get enshittified and old simple tools like httpie get turned into bloated apps.
Seems like Microsoft got really interested in postman in 2022, that's probably when the issues really started. MS wants everything you do to be in the cloud.
I had the same thing when I was getting back into webdev. A httpie UI what?
Thankfully the cli tool seems unchanged so far.
