Show HN: Restfox – Open source lightweight alternative to Postman

Last time I posted this it didn't garner much interest. There have been lots of improvements and fixes since the last release.

Quick list of features:

  - Workspaces
  - Tabs
  - Nested Folders
  - Lots of context menus
  - Response history
  - Plugins
  - Runs fully in the browser and runs offline if necessary
  - Chrome and Firefox extension to bypass CORS restrictions
  - Desktop builds for all platforms
  - GraphQL support
  - Import collections exported from Postman and Insomnia
  - Simple user friendly interface
I built this because I love Insomnia but wanted a portable version that I could run in the browser.

If you're tired of Postman's bloated interface and slow startup times, do give this a try.
