The main limitation of web components for me is that all data needs to be passed to the component attributes as strings. Wish we could pass objects and arrays without JSON.stringify-ing them.

There's https://restfox.dev which I built.

To stay unbiased, here's a list of other web based postman alternatives:

- https://hoppscotch.io (this is the most popular one)

- https://httpie.io/app

You can try https://github.com/flawiddsouza/Restfox. It's a web based HTTP client based on Postman and Insomnia.

Disclaimer: I'm the maintainer for it.

I'm using the fetch API for making requests and fetch sadly forbids the Cookie header from getting passed. Will be looking into how I can bypass this.

Haha thanks. Didn't think it could be interpreted like that :D

Thank you. Will look into preventing the right click requirement and provide an alternative for that.

It should be saving your requests automatically. Maybe your browser is blocking IndexedDB somehow? That's what's used by the application to store the data locally. Also do make sure you're not in incognito mode, as changes will be lost once you're out of it.

Firefox with ublock origin should not cause any issues. The issue might be caused by Firefox's private window implementation which does not allow IndexedDB operations, which is what Restfox uses for storing the data of the application locally.

That's very odd. Will look into this.

Definitely something I'll be implementing soon. Importing and exporting curl commands is a good feature to have. Thanks for the feature suggestion.

Thank you. The UI is not currently built with mobile in mind. I have been thinking of implementing a responsive layout but haven't had the time to do it.

I did not know about the GitHub star login thing. Will try to rectify it when I can. Thanks for all your UX notes.
